I apologize in advance for the ignorance of my thread... I have a 30g Marineland tank with a penguin 200 biowheel and added bio bag behind the filter. I have a hygger 1500 wave maker as well. Ive a few fish, clown, damsels, crabs, snails and pair of stripped banded shrimps. Im adding soft corals like zoas and a leather, and a xenia, gsp, waving hand. So far everything is good, but I want to increase my aquascape and possibly add mor color. thinking of Pom Pom Gracilaria as its cool looking. Ive been told the xenia and waving hand are supposed to grow real fast, but theyve been in for about 9 months and have not taken over.

I gusss my question is whether I should wait to add stuff, and if so, how long? I mean things done't seem to grow fast at all (except the waving hand)....
 
I see no reason not to add colour.

The take over is real slow, but overtime ca get out of hand.

Xenia can shed a branch which may take hold in another part, otherwise it will continue to bud outwards.
 
Please show us a few pictures of your tank. I luv me some low maintenance tanks. lol.
