Hi Folks!
I am in the hobby for 5 years now and recently upgraded my tank to 150 gallons. It is mostly SPS dominated. It was a so hard to be in this hobby in India as you do not get access to better equipments and corals. Still have managed to put up a decent tank. Will post pics of my tank. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

It looks so good, even if it’s from India the rarer fish don’t matter. It’s still nice even without those rarer fish like lemon peel hybrids

Thank you. Fishes are mostly available here in India without any problems. You can even get those rare fishes. It is corals that are very hard to get. I look forward to my Indian reefers also for pointers and advice. I have done my own aquascapes with aqua forest dry rocks and cement. Worked really well for me.

The aqua scape looks perfect for both swim room, hiding spots and coral placement!

Looks awesome dada :), it's hard to source good looking coral, but I think there are many reefer in your place with decent reefs, sps too. In process of setting up, would really appreciate your inputs and suggestions.
