Hank- you will soon see what I mean about the kenya tree coral!
He is right. Decent LED lights start at $250 and go up rapidly. An equivalent to 250MH starts at $300 and can go as high as $1000.
The Kenya coral can take your tank over, but I have found if you just pick up the frags it drops, it can be kept under control. Octocorals like waving hand and Xenia can also take over the tank. Many of the encrusting corals can get out of hand, but placement of rocks for it to grow on will allow you to remove some of it now and again and sell it!
