MikeC's SOFTY TANK

[Jfourn83]

Do you ever have days when the leathers do not open? Every picture or video everything is open...... you just might be the soft coral king

Did you place the filler corals or just let it naturally fill in ?

Different corals close periodically at different times or days and for me that is part of the enjoyment of having a soft coral tank and that day that everything is open and looking so good that is the day you grab your camera
Keeping in mind that closing up leathers or sheading is not always a bad thing.

I placed each coral where I wanted them.

I forgot a fish on my fish list I also have a ruby red dragonet goby so that would make 14 fish.

wish there was a test kit that didn't make you feel like a mad scientist [emoji23][emoji23] I've been using Salifert and Hanna Checkers for a few years now and couldn't be more pleased.
