Emperor has been a model citizen so far? Beautiful fish!

model might be a little strong haha... I decided when I put him in that I was going to build around the emperor, using corals he doesn’t mess with... had to pull a few zoas (not all strangely) and a frag of cloves... also he demolished a frag on anthelia... I’m prepared to have other casualties or at least occasional nipping

Beautiful reef! Love your livestock choices!

The wood work on your stand and paneling is really well done! I really like how it fits in with the rest of the room too.

I am definitely interested in keeping some gorgonians like yours, any tips? Major challenges?

So many beautiful fish too!

Sorry I missed this post. The gorgonians I have are all photosynthetic, they are really quite easy to keep. Good lighting and good flow. The only real tip I would give is they don't like to rub against anything- rocks, other corals, other gorgonians, etc. Other than that, pretty easy. The non-photo ones are a different story. They require specialized care and are much harder to keep long-term.

Beautiful tank! Nice work!

Your reef looks great. I had a gorg/leather tank for many years. Very nice movement and fairly easy to maintain. Yours is beautiful. I like the stand and canopy too. Very well done!

Awesome tank! Don’t know why softy tanks don’t get more love.

Thanks all! I have really enjoyed this tank. I am a fish 1st, corals 2nd guy... so I had to work some of these corals around a few fish that I wanted... pleased with it so far... probably adding a bunch of mushrooms now to the rock work to fill spaces...

Great build, I have a 7 x 4 x 2 in the planning stages and it will be a softie and nem tank, I'd love gorgs but angels tend to like them.
Love your flame, mine is probably my fav. fish.
