I am looking for people who primarily keep softies. After the 10 year tank video from BRS, there is a trend of looking for mentors around here.

I am looking for tanks that keep mostly softies so I can learn from them and grow as a hobbiest.

I am running a IM Nuvo 30l. Its been set up 2 weeks with corals now, transferred from my last setup.

When you come to LA, We'll go to two wholesalers next to each other. Sea Dwelling Creatures, Underwater World. Quality Marine burn their bridges with me. Long story for another time. I run a company so time would be tight but doable.
Beautiful tank, comrade

This tank has been up about 1 year, I upgraded from my 120 gal. which was set up for 3 years. So November it will be 4 years with this livestock.

I don't dose, I try to keep things simple. I do my water changes every week to 2 weeks. I do a mesh bag of carbon every few weeks. Nothing crazy.

This is the exact sort of build I am looking for. Do you have a thread?

I lean towards the soft coral side but trying to find decent supplier and prices has been difficult. I already have Xenia, Kenya Tree, some zoas/paly things, but looking for cabbage leather, cespitularia, and sinularia and lower prices has been difficult.

Softies offer pieces full of color at large size with basic care and requirements. Softie tanks will always be the best entry level and easy care concept in this hobby.

What kind of lights are running. We have similar corals too.
