Dunno how I missed this thread....
Love the tank alexa. A great softie tank. I remember seeing a post where you thought you killed a mushroom? If it does die, please let me know how you did it
.
Best of luck to you, if you have any questions, dont be afraid to holler.

SPS a lot more work than you think, and would not do well in a softie tank. They need a ton of indirect flow (i.e. dont point a powerhead directly at them) and the softies wouldnt like it. I would say go for a favia or open brain for color. Always research the piece's requirements before buying them or you could lose out on a lot of money (learned the hard way)

You have T-5's right? Do you happen to know if they have individual reflectors or not? You could try acans or a pretty chalice, given it was placed in correct conditions. I say correct conditions because a lot of them are finiky and may lose some color if they arent happy

no it does not have indiv. reflectors, it is the nova extreme pro. I do have a porites coral in there now towards the top; it has done well and the Christmas tree worms have gotten bigger. it's a 20 gal high, so its not terribly deep. Do you think an open brain would do ok on the sandbed? Do they need a very high flow directed at them?

I think you should be ok, they dont require too much light. They bleach under MHs so I think youll be fine. Dont blast it, just keep things gently blowing in the current and opened up. Brains dont require much, they just puff up and look pretty
Youll have no problem keeping a number of things in the tank. I would just stray away from SPS and some of the harder LPS. It leaves a wide spectrum open for you
