Wow, that's weird that your LFS doesn't have killer lighting. Much of the time I buy stuff, and I know it's not going to look as good as it did at the store or at a show. Most stores I've been to have heavy actinic lighting to make the corals irresistible.

Yeah its weird, they run T5s only on the frag tank though. And their Red Sea Max.

Oh and i saw one of the first new Marineland 36" deep setups for sale today. AMAZING. Looked SO good and tempting. 36"x36" cube, 150gal i believe. It was awesome. I'd build my own stand/canopy for it. The Marineland stand and canopy are a little "meh". Canopy prevents you from getting to the back of the tank and the stand is a bit low but has tons of room underneath. The price tag ran like $1600 full setup. Not to shabby i guess.

i woulda guessed a minimum of $50 for that superman monti... the other monti is it the encrusting type? looks kinda like a sunset monti...great deal on the acan aswell
i must say id be a little hesatant to add any sps after that! but at that price u would have to be pretty dumb to turn down that superman :p

Exactly what i thought. I couldn't let them go for that price and i figure Montis are a good type to restart SPS with.

The superman monti was up there in price, but with 25% off and a small more % off for being a club member it worked out quite well.

to be honest ive had the best luck with pocillapora (as hardy as my softies!) green birdsnest is in the same family as pocillapora.... as far as monti's go caps are pretty hardy, than comes digitata, than the encrusting type,acros being the hardest to keep (at least to my experiance)
