Well, I am thinking about taking the challange and seting up a 120 softie tank for totm!
What do yuo all think would be keys in this happening? Equipment, livestock, etc...

I have always felt that the sps tanks get the TOTM nods because they often have large price tags attached to them. Another car analogy - we see cars all day long and most you don't even notice; but when you see an expensive car, you definitely notice it. Anyway, that's my feeling on the matter.
I am slowly stocking my 120, and it will mostly be softies. Doubt I will get a TOTM nod, though - no $500 skimmer (just DIY counter-current), no $300 vortecs (just modded MJ's), no expensive custom built cabinetry (again DIY to suit)......I see my tank as a hobby not a trendy fashion statement. I enjoy building things and don't like wasting money.....I am a firm believer in 'function over fashion' (but this philosophy goes over better with the wife if it can be hidden out of sight).
Man was that a soap box rant? Sorry for the meander off topic. Good luck with your 120 Jeremy.....I will tag along on that one. I would say go with a specimens that flow in the current, and then try to achieve a gentle roll throughout the tank. I like the pulsing, pom-pom xenias, and the kenya tree and carnation tree. Well at least that's my plan......
