i plan on eventually getting 2 -3 250's eventually but for now i have heard people can get away with 175 on 18-24 max
but when the middle fills up i will get another and fill that side and so on so maybe i should just fill the middle with softies untill i get a 250 for the side ? or could a lowlight sps do fine if it is just high up ? with great water quality of course ?

IMO you don't have enough light for that large of a tank unless you make a rack right at water level to hold the SPS directly under the light.
Not only that but to maintain the water quality you need for SPS for only a few peices dosn't seem worth it to me. I would get a TDS meter or go to the LFS and ask them to test it. because you may be fighting a lossing battle depending on the quality of water you are using for water changes. Roger

alright looks like ill hold off on them for now untill i can get a ROdi and concentrate on water quality and raising $ for more light
guess ill just have to stick to softies for now unless there are forgiving corals how about lps ? frogs,hammers,bubble could lps be more of a option now ?
