Kevin, the first thing I need to do is first make a selection list and from those, the ones in which I favor the most. That would make the least favorable on this list to become scratch from it, for im sure that I should manage a favorite list of some 50 corals in all. Still it will depend much on the corals I do select and how much space they require to keep down aggression.
As I said, I more then 6-8 months or so before the first of the major SPS coral I buy for which I first wish to age the system first with other less lighting requirement or so to do this. I understand all your saying on the correct environment for each coral, which is why the corals I do have on this list, I seen these from other hobbyists and I do research reading on all of them.
And what I not know of their requirements, I will post a list on those asking for any professional view(s) one might be able to assist me with. I was to done most of those few years ago, but I scratched the idea due to the fact that I had no idea on when the tanks would be completed by. I am patient Kevin and I wish to make little to no mistakes on this.
As I once said, this is a whole new deal for me, its the one thing I not had done in the years while in this hobby. Sure, soft corals are far easier to manage, just as F/O tanks, I giving up keeping F/O some seven years ago and I done soft coral reef tanks and now im looking to do something much different then those.
I am in no way feeling that I shouldn't attempt this, I had been in thought about it for some 11-12 years now and in time it all will become a reality. So the question still stands fellow hobbyists, on any rare or beautiful coral you might suggest> And my interest lies with all corals, mostly SPS and I will not be looking for rare corals only in this search.
I don`t know if I post the tanks before, so here, the photos were taking more then a year to 1.5 year ago>
PS.
Kevin, I not know of many major players in this of what im doing in all this, but I do know of two major players who will play a role in what coral decisions I make. One if yourself and the other be a person known to others as Mr.Firemouth (Rich) who I must say has already been a great help in his guidance.
I will when the time be that I a list to post it and through your help and his, as well as my lfs person, will get a list together and with all to most the cost, you both can feel some satisfaction on your part that I left out many far aggressive species for which im enough to deal with in maintaining them that as well, im very busy within my family with the kids>
I not simply dive in head first
