Hello, even though I just officially joined I've learned tons of useful info just reviewing threads on Google searches lol. I have a 40 breeder mixed reef currently. I recently decided to transition to SPS dominant and looking to add some nicer acros to the tank. I have attached the most recent photo I have of the tank. Thank you!

Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
