Any recent updated fts? I have a 5 gallon that is sitting around with some goldfish that are getting an upgrade, so I'll have a empty 5 gallon soon and am interested in doing something similar to this.

For softies go to the fabric store and get some nylon wedding vale and some rubber bands and just use the wedding vale overtop of the softie and the rock you want it on secure with the rubber band and life is good. Takes teh coral a few days to weeks to attatch then just remove the wedding vale. Another method is to take a glass or plastic dish and fill it with rubble and place it on the sand bed then put your softies in it the will attach to the rubble and the container keeps em from gettin blown away by the currents. Then you just glue the rubble not the softie to a rock. I can never get shrooms to stick with glue give em a few hours and they fall right off.

either a hammer or frogspawn, both of which probably won't do well under your lighting

Yeah I was afraid of that but so far seems to be thriving. It wasn't an impulse buy I wanted the zoas and the gf wanted the hammer? And I knew they weren't on my list of hardy corals that would do good under my light but remembered a couple other ppl with the same light and there's did good so I figured wth and $20 for 2 corals from where I'm from isn't bad and she paid half
