Ready for more...I think


I am pretty sure I am maxed out on our 33 long for livestock (coral beauty, 6 line wrasse, false percula, blue damsel, dragonette) but would like to add some more color. So, figure it will have to be with "simple" corals.

I did trade off the large mushroom rock for a large star polyp and good sized polys rock...which is pretty much a tan color. I have some orange polyps and purple mushrooms...and a yellow sponge. Suggestions on some corals I could support with compact lighting 96W 12K and 96W actinic? (I am about ready for new bulbs...would switching to different bulbs be better?)

Let me know what you think I should start keeping an eye out for. Will post an updated pic in the next day or two in my gallery.

Thanks for the input!

the big color is in SPS and some LPS.
RBT,yellow polyps, zoas are nice.
you will need to see if your CB is a coral picker.

With the compact flourescents, would I be able to do most LPS? Was under the impression that to do more than softies would probably have to replace the lighting with t5's or mh's.

So far the coral beauty has left the mushrooms, polyps and zoos alone...so would hopefully be safe.

Thanks!
