Thanks, I have 120 lbs. of sand. I am looking to add some frogspawn in the near future, that is if I can find someone serious about trading for it. The tank is 4 1/2 weeks old. It was cycled with established LR and LS. You can't see the kenya tree, Xenia, and the eagle eye zoas.

Thanks.
Coach helped me ALOT. He was the one that helped me with the sump setup.
Coach, how's the 135 going? Do you guys have any suggestions for me? I have 330 watts of t-5 lighting and I don't want to spend the $ on MH.

i wouldnt get a dragonet for a tank thats only 4 1/2 weeks old. they need tons and tons of pods to survive. their main hobby is to hunt for food all day, and the only thing they eat is pods. at 4 1/2 weeks old your pod population is not nearly close enough to support one of these guys, even though you have 120 lbs of rock. also these guys take about 6 months to starve to death. its a sad sight. just some input.

I know the fish but it doesn't matter the lady that was going to sell it to me said she wasn't selling after all and returned my moneny. This tank was set up using alot of water, LR, and sand from a 55 gal. that was 6 months old. The 55 gallon was very established and the 90 is very devloped for only being 5 weeks old. Thanks for the concern.

your lighting is fine for your corals now... xenia is a nice begginer to throw in there also.
let the zoo's and gsp populate the mushrooms are fast growers also i'd suggest trying harder corals after first fragging of the gsp,mushrooms and zoo's..

Coach, I know how to frag the mushrooms. But I'll have to look up how to frag the gsp. How big should the mushrooms get before I start fragging them? I have about 6 that are at least 2" across. Should I frag them now? :thinking: And what kind of hard corals would you suggest?

330 watts of t5 on a 90? that is more than enough lighting for some euphyllas species (hammer and tourch, frogspawn, ect). however, even though your tank is looking nice for being so younge, id wait another month or so.
