I will admit, I've never kept a SPS aquarium but I'm falling in love day by day with the beauty. And I'm currently in the research phase.
Montipora, Acropora, Torches, etc. I can envision an aquarium with a limited amount of coral species, but would make it up with species richness. By having multiple corals of the same species, it would create a greater visual impact than having a salad bowl of one-off's of different species.
Now don't this as flaming anyone, I know we all have different goals. But is it possible to make an aquarium with only reds, oranges, blues and purples; while avoiding green and yellow? To me it seems very difficult as it seems most corals are not pure colored, they have a variety of different colors. And green seems to be ever present in a lot of corals to one degree or another.
But I must ask, is it possible? Are there certain species I need to avoid?
