Your coral is doing great in your tank! What are your future plans with your tank?

I will probably keep it stable and let it grow out some more, adding a few Acros here and there just to see if my tank is up for the challenge:grinning-face-with-sweat:. Haha, I keep going to the LFS, but I always end up getting more Torches haha.

So far, my Acros are staying alive but not growing probably need time to adjust.
