8 months into the journey. Corals in the last 3 months. Love the challenge of it all. 5 fish. Two clowns. Tomini tang. Yellow wrasse and a lawnmower BLenny. Some CUC as well. 23 corals total. Mixed reef. A practical variety. Zoas. Torch. Frogspawn. Bubble coral. Duncan’s. Acan. Xenia. goni. banana stylo . Rainbow Ricordia. Yellow parazoa. Seriatopora. Stylophora. cyphastrea And GSP. A rock anemone. Most are doing great and growing and healthy. Acans are slow going. All but one Zoa are multiplying. Softies are thriving. I have had some GHA in the last month. Battling through that and gaining ground. Have had awesome Coraline algae the last few months. I have duel fluval marine reef lights, a small skimmer and UV as well. I do 15% water changes every week and check all levels. Nitrate runs 10-20 and everything else is in line. I’m currently not dosing anything unless my levels change as corals grow more. Prepared for both calcium and alkalinity. I feed mixed pellets. Mysis. Seaweed. Algae supplement. Aminos. Coral pellets And reef roids. not all in the same day. Lol. And yes before somebody freaks out. I have a future home in place for my tomini tang. no judgement. He is thriving. I have had very few issues so far. I’m already planning my upgrade. 125-150 is the goal. I have done a ton of research. Reading. youtube and forum reading. I never want to reinvent the wheel. I have learned so much from reef2reef. I also set goals based on others tanks. Taking away the things I really like and strive to achieve.

Gorgeous reef! i really like the rocks the corals are on on your overflow. how did you do that? I’m trying to figure out how to better hide mine.
How many gallons is your tank?

Any thoughts on on other flowing softie that won’t break the bank?
