Help Me Decide

I would like to buy at least one coral from each vendor and keep it in the science center 210 until I can buy my own tank. Getting closer to that unless I spend all my money on the 21st.
I'm looking at the red or blue milli from our ND vendor. Are they a good choice for a newcomer? Any other suggestions?

I thought sps was kind of iffy in the 210. SPS in general is usually better for a stable, been set up for awhile tank and needs a lot of light. Not sure what you are planning for equipment or what kind of tank you are going for, mixed reef, sps dominated, lps and softies, etc. I don't know how hard or easy millis are on the sps scale either, I don't keep much.

Millis can be picky for sure as I lost my large 10" colony in a tank move...

The hardy SPS would be montipora Caps, Birdsnests, and Montipora Digitata I'd think. You will find some good large frags of b-nests in the raffle/club sale tank up there from me.

I'll have some green fuzzy Stylophora for sale $10ea. you can check them out at http://www.lsmac.org/smf/index.php?topic=414.0

Honestly, I would just stay away from SPS for the HSC tank. Wait to get SPS till you have your own tank. Stick to softies and LPS for now.

Please save me one. I have great confidence that Cammie, Holly, and Jody will help me make sure everything survives and thrives.

Thanks!

Make it 2 please.
Thanks!

Two it is.

Cloves ok? Looking at Reef Deep's corals. I want to buy something there too. Some great looking corals.

Just bought this book off Amazon so I won't be such a pain in the butt.

"Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History"

Yup, cloves are a softy, and rather hardy. Sometimes they melt away, but usually they are in a tank to stay.

210 doesn't have anything of that color does it? What about spongodes?

They do have spongodes. Oh...cloves will be perfect in that tank!
