LPS

Acan. hillae
Alien Eye Chalice
Frogspawn
Micromussa a.
Micromussa d.
Mycedium e.
Blastomussa
Ricordia florida

Softies

Toadstool Leather
Ricordia florida
Zaonthid sp


SPS

Yay, any softie and LPS I want! Sweeettness. I always wanted frogspawn

 

[nmprisons]

well, check your calium, magnesium, alkalinity, ph, nitrate and go get one!

 

[Mrseptember15]

Yes Sir! lol I still need to get the testing equipment though :-(. I should order one now, do you know any cheap ones?

 

[drummereef]

Yup, I have a frogspawn in a 40 with 192 watts of pc. Seems to be doing quite well.

cheap ones aren't usually the right ones, imo

I use SeaChem kits and love them. You could get by with their basic saltwater, calcium, and magnesium kits. These are available through premiumaquatics.com for reasonable prices.
