the tank is a 135g with a light bioload(small fish:clown, 2 chromis, lawnmower blenny, diamond goby; medium fish:naso tang).
the lighting is a DIY canopy with 4 t-5 bulbs being overdriven by a IceCap 660ballast with IceCap individual reflectors. there's also 2 powercompact bulbs on a seperate ballast, thats 450wts of light.
my flow is a 900gph return pump, a koralia 4 & a ReeFlo Snapper running a 1" SCWD. after calculating head pressure its about 3400gph or a 25x turnover rate.
as of now i have all frages: xenia, GSP, green zoas, green hairy shroom, rics, leather and a hammer. i am all about movement in the tank so softies and lps will be the only things in this tank.
i need tips/advice on where the corals i have now should be placed and suggestions on future corals to buy and where they should be placed.

It sounds like frogspawn, torchs and hammers would be right up your alley. If you can find some in your area keep an eye for some of the yellow aussie torch. It is not cheap, but beautiful. I hope to be getting a couple heads of this next week. Also I have been hooked on nice open brain corals lately. Not the most movement, but some awesome colors.

Hey J, havent seen you in a while...i gotta catch up on your thread. thanks for the reply, i was planning on adding frogspawn & torch also...i love that family of corals. i do like the coloration of brain corals but do you think my lighting is intense enough to support one?
