I have kept softies, sps, and lps. Lot of acros and montipora for research due to ease of gluing. Had blastos, acans, candy canes, GSP, zoas at home.
Current rock scape. I am building it with my 5 yo daughter, and she loves rainbows and purple, so I want to try and get more color, but still have it fill in nicely. (and one super fluorescent green/orange for me...hehehe)
I figured you may be best to chime in on this one. I would be careful with thr caribsea rock as it will looks cool but can potentially leach things in some instances. I'm sure you understand it's no quicker to becoming good live rock than just white dead rock. If you have the means..a piece or two of kp aquatics live rock (or another type) would help speed things along. Vintage has the right idea for Asian acans and gonis. Both are colorful and the gonis will provide movement in which a 5 year old will love too!Get Asian acans - game changer in the acan species
Or Goni comes in lots of colors
