All LPS did you really mean non-acroproa/SPS tank ?
Rarely will you see an LPS tank without some Softies, zoos, or mushrooms mixed in here and there.

Are you moving out of the area? Or just to another place?? What are you going to do with all your sps now? (and no, I'm not asking for it hehe)

The large bubble and toadstool leather that you see in some of the other pic's have been moved to my large tank as they got too big for this tank. The leather is now 15" across.

I like the tank.....I think it is pretty cool watching the frags grow out after you frag them, but i am sure u prob won't watch them grow out for long. But I would rather buy a frag and watch it get huge, then buy a huge colony. Nice job.

mummra100769, what is the coral in your first picture and how do you look after it correctly. in my LFS theyve got one for £30 but some of the polyps are dead- does it grow fast and will it encrust over the dead tissue? im only asking because im not really an LPS guy and im onli just getting into it.

acan lords. very easy to keep and should regrow over dead spots fast. needs to be fed though for good growth.

yep thats definately going to be bought i cant believe its been there for nearly two months, but then no one has really caught onto acans in the uk. what about placement etc...
