LPS Here I come!

I was in the air between soft or hard corals, and decided on LPS (large polyp stony...but I"m sure you all knew that).

I figure the best of both worlds!
I have to do more research, but in the long run I see my 90 gallon home to:

- Elegance Coral (Catalaphyllia jardinei)
- Tube Coral (Tubastrea aurea)
- Plate Coral (Fungia repanda)
- Brain Coral (Lobophyllia hemprichii)
- Fox Coral (Nemanzophyllia turbida)
- Donught Coral (Cynarina deshayesiana)

Not to mention my BTA (2, possibly 3)
I have a great LFS that can pretty much get in anything I'd want, just might have to wait a bit, but I'd rather get the corals and live rock from them than online

NOw that I've slept off the sugar high and actually taken my pill (who would have thought?!?!)

My only concern is that it might be a little TOO much like for the fox coral, as everything I"ve read says that it prefers low to medium light. I think what I'll do is just try to remember when I"m setting up my live rock to create a mini ledge somewhere so that it might deter the light just enough for the coral. If not, I might not be able to get it at all.
