I thought it was 8 months old, but it turns out it's more like 5 months and 20 days. Would love thoughts and suggestions! Stocking is 1 yasha goby and 1 tiger pistol.

It seems like euphyllia like your tank! What about some nice branching montipora digitata on the higher rocks or backwall? I think zoas would be happy in your tank too. No matter what you do, you should be proud of your current success.

A bit of cleaning and maybe adding some more rock to increase the height of the scape a bit. You could then put your mushroomcorals onto your new rock to make it a bit more natural looking and cleans up the sandbed a bit. If I’m correct I can see some montipora plates glued to the back of your wall. Nice idea but if it will start to grow it might overgrow things that need some light :)

It’s actually hollywood stunner and It’s definitely growing… it is luckily 6 ish inches away from overshadowing anything thats not a discosoma, and I plan to just chip off bits as it gets too big.
Very nice! Ya, I was also thinking more rock. It will provide more surface area for beneficial bacteria as you stock it more.
Do you have any stocking recommendations? For my final stocking plan I was thinking 3 sexy shrimp, 3 blue leg hermits, a porcelain crab, and my yasha pistol pair. Does that need more live rock to be able to maintain?

If that’s it you’re probably fine, still low bio load.
