Remi, everything is looking so good! I think you’re too hard on yourself.Yesterday addition of a new rock with a hitchhiker a tailspot blenny (it was a hard way to come to the aquarium). I bought one a day before. It settles quite fast as it came with its cave. The initial one stays 2 days on back glasse and sleeping on the sand in a corner (it got bully by the dotty back and also by the clowns). 2 hours ago it found it's cave on opposite of the other. Today I rearrange the rocks and also tried to glue corals ( I am not good at it). One side is zoas garden and opposite will be the mushrooms garden. I keep 4 places for sps under the led for later (mid height of the tank). It feels more more empty now.
If you want to see real messed up gluing/ placement of frags, go back and look at my thread again - lol.

So up to now no coral lose (fingers crossed) but also not too much growth. I will have to work on my parameters reduces phosphate and increases magnesium. I bought phosbond and red sea magnesium part c for these purposes. I will go slowly on them. I got also phytoplankton that I will try from tomorrow. Otherwise got 6 frags this week end, rainbow monti, digitata, grafted monti, season greeting monti, Jason fox sector 001 favia and an acan blue, purple and orange. I add 3 bumblebee snails.

Remi, I have been thinking about your tailspots. I'm wondering if it is at least somewhat working because one is very small? Just looking at what might work for me to try a second one too.

Ya, I think green is the dominant color for corals. I like the look of the back wall of the tank covered in gsp but all my green corals would be lost in the backdrop of a green wall.

They have the same size but coming from 2 LFS. One submitted after maybe 2/3 days and still stay day time on the back glass. When the light off both stay on the rocks. Sometimes very close less than 2 inches sometimes opposite. I can spot feed the one of the back glass (so he doesn't starve been blocked on the glass) when the other one eats on rock or with the others fish. I bought some barnacles last week but as it is coming from US I will get it only beginning of march (hopefully not smashed) it is for the submitted so he can rest during the day. How long it would have been if they were fighting until one die? (Day, week?)

They seem to be respecting each other’s territory. This has good chance of working out but as the wise and all knowing @Katrina71 stated, I’ve never seen or heard of two in the same tank. Probably wouldn’t work out in a pico but in your size tank maybe.

Exactly! But I like how you did a dedicated mound of it.
If I had a nano, I would 100% do GSP on back wall and know I have to trim!

It’s definitely a learning process based on overall flow needs of All my corals, 2 weeks ago I moved ALL my hammers to left scape, and put more gonis in their place cause they love the flow. It was a big undertaking, because that meant I had to move zoas that were surrounding,
Kinowing what I know now, I would have had frag plug holes drilled in all my ledges so I could have just put everything in temporarily until I knew they would be successful.
Lesson learned.
That’s what I’ve seen @tbrown when he makes scape pieces, but I don’t have space/tools to DIY.
I will say though that many Euro companies provide scape pieces with drag plug holes - US market, not so much

Ya, a nano with gsp on the back wall and every coral in the tank every color but green. Those colors would pop with the green background.
