need opinions on rounding out the color in my tank

[nickyblase]

I'll take some pics tonight so you can see what it looks like now, but I am thinking that I might want to put in some more bright blue and some bright red or orange or pink.

Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe a nice chalice or something for the blue, and perhaps a yuma for the pink.

Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on some of Bec's Goni, so that can add some good color as well.

I've got only a little bit of blue, and they're on the smaller scale - some blue zoos, and some nice purple tonga shrooms.

As for reddish/pink coloring, I've got a few shrooms here and there, my RBTA, a Kenya Tree, a colt coral, and a big red & green brain.

BTW - any ideas on corals that have a striking bright orange color?

there are some great orange caps, zoas, clownfish :-D

An orange cap. They are bright and orange and easy to keep.

What kind of lights do you have in the first place? that will make responses VERY different. If your looking for soft and LPS...

-Some nice neon blue shrooms (I remember some guy in the club has a whole side of his tank covered in them & use to always sell them)

- Zoa's!!! they come in every color! Try some different types of blues. Tubs, alien eyes (grows quick for me), & fire and ice zoa's are all true blues. You can get some stunning bright pink zoa's as well, & dont forget those AMAZING red zoa's like Keds red and Safecrackers (personally I'd stay away from RPE's...they are not really red to me...just a rusty orange color.) Orange zoa's grow fairly fast also and can be super bright in a tank! I might be selling a small colony of orange if your going to the meeting.

Orange & red can be found in acan's also.

If your lights support it, a nice bright blue clam will stand out very well!

Of there are a ton of blue sps too!

good points.

I've got 175w 14k's and 2x96w actinics.

I've got a nice blue crocea that I just picked up from Dong, also have a small orange cap frag.

I've got a lot of really good colors from zoos already - have some pale blues, some deep blues, some nice pinks, etc etc. The more I think about it, I think I'll want to do something that I can put on the rockwork that is a little larger in scale (but not truly large, since it's only a 38!).

What is everyone's experience with yuma's? I thought I heard somewhere that a member had one that ate a fish??
