That's awesome!!! Getting new corals is like Christmas morning! Now just get rid of 100% of those nems and you've got a nice situation on your hands!Is it noticeable
Edited with a better photo
I despise nems and I don't care who knows it
That looks great! Excellent job. Now for a (somewhat) negative statement from the Debbie Downer part of my psyche. Be VERY aware of the seals on your tank. My second tank was a 75G bought off of Craig's List. It sprung a leak six months in. Swapped it ouf for a 90G ultimately. And it was a pain. I hate to say it, but have a plan in place to deal with a non-fixable leak. And I mean a plan down to the last detail. It'll really help you out if there js a failure.

But but but I love my @footgal nems!!!
I do need to hand some off the the LFS for credit they take up space and once they start over population of that spot they start trying to walk to the other end!
So a reduction of nems will likely happen

So I had this tank resealed after I bought it. It’s been up for 4 years
But
I do have a new tank being made by @Joe Glass Cages so no worries.

If anyone was wondering what happened to the Dino’s seen in this picture
I have been able to reduce there growth but the day prior to coral arrival I took a 5 micron sock and placed it in a 10 micron sock and vacuumed all that stuff and sand out of the tank.
I’ve rinsed the sand out and now I need to throw it in the oven to dry it out and kill anything else that may be living or in any type of stasis.
It may not be the conventional method to riding a tank of Dino’s but I think between the dosing of nitrate and phosphate and the appearance of diatoms and other normal algae I may have (knock of wood) beaten back the Dino’s to an acceptable level….because they never go away…

So your theme song is officially:
"I hate big Nems and I cannot lie!
Them clownfish best deny!"

Don't encourage her... Please.
Just kidding. She needs as much encouragement as we can give. Especially encourage her to buy more corals!

Just show her the pictures of all the things I bought at once…and tell her I also bought a new tank a few weeks ago…on a whim….that entire coral purchase was also on a whim- I should be banned from Zoanthids live sales…and now they do streaming sales in their app…I’m so SOL …I have very little impulse control …..especially with people like @tbrown around or even @steveschuerger…..you ask them which one- they say both - and I’m like ok!!!!!
On a serious note my tank is looking like it did a couple years ago before it decided to nose dive after moving….

So glued gonis to pieces of rocks
- apparently forgot to take pictures- will do that later- here are just Goni photos anyway
Glued hammers to pieces of branching rock
Move a big head acan to where the others big head are
Moved all the micro acan to a single rock
Think that’s it

And I tested
So great news - no issues testing those numbers lol
Doses my weeklong magnesium and calcium have no clue what those numbers are…will once I go to the LFS
I’m doubling my manganese dose from 2 to 4ml with the increase in corals - specifically those gonies
