Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You know Jimmy, I got my first real, in person looks at some nice duncans at my lfs a couple days ago. Then I see yours and Amanda's new duncans.... I DID NOT realize how beautiful they actually were. It's a shame I figured this out after I had no more room to add one.
Fake news. There's always room for Duncan's.

After further review, right of the torch appears to be a no go, but everything else...
 
My wife likes blue, and I'd like to get some color in there other than pink and green. Not that I don't love my corals, I do. Just want a little more variety.
 
I will just get the longer one that way it works for both tanks.
I actually prefer this one but I have the long Icecap a well. I bought it locally.
 
Since we're all sharing our Duncan's, here's a great picture of mine! You can really see the color and detail and movement!

😂 😂😂
 
I'm looking at some sale corals on TSA. Do y'all think a blue chalice would do well and look good to the left of my mushroom (where the tunicate rock used to be)
Id have to see a picture to refresh my brain, but as long as it has room to grow and extend its sweepers at night, it'll absolutely do well. It's just like a plate, it needs a little blow to remove detritus, but not too much.

You can see enough to tell that it's gorgeous!

Hard to argue with this lol. I LOVE the idea of the two spots you circled by the dendros. Ive been needing something not too aggressive to contrast with them. After seeing yours attached to the rocks, im very open to that idea. The colors would be perfect together.

They form a "dome" like Blastos and Gonis do rather than grow out like hammers and torches and such.

That would be ideal. Im to the point where I want to add more movement in higher places and in different textures than what I have.
