Beautiful tanks!!

Love this tank, and also what you said about the social stigmas of soft coras vs. sps. It’s something I find myself trying to ignore as well. I’ve ditched almost all of my sps except a few easier ones that have done well for a while. My tank is now lps/softie dominated. Something that I have found I really enjoy about soft corals in addition to their hardiness is their peaceful nature with each other. Not a ton of worry about crazy sweeper tentacles or other things of that nature.

Thanks for sharing!

I may have missed it in the 34 pages is there a post # that lists what's in your softie tank? I have a 130 gallon tank and a 250 gallon tank plumbed together. My plan is to make the 130 a softie tank. Your's is amazing. Thanks for the video update.

Tracy Morgan gorgonian

Great tank, man. I'm trying to play "where's waldo" by matching a lot of these corals to the photos, but which one is the bright orange thing that looks like a bright orange gorgonian or sponge?

Not sure can you let me know the time on the video you see it to pin point it.

Wow, I hadn't discovered the video yet. I was still looking at the photos.

It is right in the center at the 0:12 mark in the video.

how do you train your corals to play nice?
I get Battle Royale.

Work Network is down.
IT is diligently working on it. No ETA when it will be up.
Binge watching your videos.

? I have a lot of flow in that tank maybe that helps ? I also run carbon, 2 cups every 2 weeks in a reactor.
