will all the different types get along? if you had 5 green and 5 blue-green would they all school together or at least not try and kill each other?

I'm not an expert, but I think that I have both green and blue green in one of my tanks and they get along just fine. For the most part, they seem to mix well.

I just hope my pre-wife never finds out that I want to have as many tanks as you. That would be a deal breaker.

NO copper pipes for the tanks, just the rest of the house.

I am still playing the learning curve with the frags. Some are doing well, and some haven't made it. I am assuming the ones that haven't was a result of where I placed them in the tank. I'm not sure whether they are getting enought light and flow, or two much. I am trying to play around with them moving them into different spots in the tank if I see them start to die off. I've had the same problem in the frag tank, where the water parameters are near perfect. Only major difference is frag tank has 10K 150 W MH's, and DT has 14K 400 W MH's. I will try and get some photos of the corals this weekend and post them.
