Here is some pictures of my tank 8 months after getting it.

Would like to add some more corals, currently have one mushroom, one zoanthid, two zinia.

Would like something more blue or purple or something. Can anyone suggest something that won't be too easy to kill? Still new and learning.

Dosing Continuum Aquatics for corals (zoo blast, ocean snow, micro blast, phyto blast, chrome blast, coral elements.N, marine elements.T and coral exponential) as well as the Biokit Reef vial system from Prodibio.

Any other suggestions anyone can offer?

GORGEOUS design!! Love your rock work.

Zoas and mushrooms come in in blue. Zoas also come in purples. I have a blue mushroom my BF found at LFS, but personally zoas have more colors so that makes them more interesting. It might take some patience until you find some you like - but they are out there. Miami Vice can even be at top of your rock arches where likely they come out of water during water changes. Miami Vice are on my wish list for above reasons, but there are so many others out there.

Here are pics of zoa Rainbow Infusion is purple, pink and green stripe and new blue mushroom.

Very nice setup. Odd design for your sump. The return pump looks kinda small for such a large tank. I also like your Tiger Oscar, had some years ago, now only smaller cichlids like Angels, Electric Blue Acaras, Severums and several small plecos in my 75.

Go onto the livestock forum and search for your state. Local reefers usually have tons of coral to choose from at a fraction of the retail prices.

Hammer coral. Adds movement, fluoresce nicely, they grow semi fast and aren't too hard.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
