Wow, and double wow, Jim
As for me, I started out with zoos and LPS. At the beginning of the year, I did my first trade, a head of branching hammer for some lavender candycane. I brought some extra zoos, and the person gave me some zoos and a piece of purple edge tan cap.
The cap did well in my tank at that time... 220 watts of fluorescent over a 37. So then I started paying more attention to montis. At the TP closing sale, I picked up an orange cap, and a purple green encrusting monti. They did well also.
Some time after that, I decided I needed a bigger tank, and I upgraded to a 72 bow and picked up some used MH off of Craigslist.
Got a piece of Leng Sy, some orange digi, tan digi, and purple tan cap at my first BAR swap in July. Those grew quickly, so I figured I would stick with montis, LPS, and zoos.
Some time after that, someone gave me a freebie pink mille which I thought I would have problems with, but it did fine. So I figured, I could do milles but that I should stay away from other acros.
A few meetings back, I ended up with some of the Tonga acro frags which have been happy in my tank, so lately I've been looking at other acros.
Guess I'll blame BAR and my fellow reefers for getting me hooked on SPS
