cju84 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Also - I might be a bit overstocked in corals... not sure if I should remove anything... Thoughts?? Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Also - I might be a bit overstocked in corals... not sure if I should remove anything... Thoughts?? In my opinion, your frogspawn, which are beautiful, are taking up a lot of room. It really depends on what else you want to add though, if anything. If everything is happy, growing, and not getting in each other's way, you are good. If warfare breaks out because the corals are too close and inhibiting each other's growth, then you might need to think the herd. Looks good to me though!! 1 Quote Link to comment
aquariumlover10 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If you want to remove something for new corals or new growth, id say frogspawn on up right, and zoas on bottom left, and then get some acros or something. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cleaning the aragonite is impossible too (at least in the front/sides). There is actually a lot of room in the back of the tank that is unoccupied. Perhaps I can move the frogspawn back more and get rid of the Xenias in the front. Probably could trim down the Palythoas as well, but I'm obsessed with their colors (and the clown made them his home). 1 Quote Link to comment

I would have a hard time getting rid of something if my clown called it home... You do still have some open rockwork that will fill in once those zoas start to grow. Though, looking again, you are very symmetrical - zoas in the front right and left, frogspawn in the back right and left. Take a look at some tanks featured in TOTM, pick out some corals you might like to have, and make a plan for where they can fit. That helped me decide what to get and where to put everything. 1 Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know, he loves it too much... but whenever I'm around he always comes out and says hi... I don't think I can part with them haha... But there is a lot of it, so maybe I could cut it down by half. Def. can move some of the frogspawn and then totally get rid of the Xenia..

aquariumlover10 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Why not get a small anemone for the clown then if he/she hosts it get rid of some of the zoas. Quote Link to comment

Tank is a little small for an anem I think. i still see rock and sand...u have room =P Hahaha... I don't feel as bad now, thanks. There actually is a LOT of room in the back behind the main rock fixture. Quote Link to comment
aquariumlover10 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A rock or mini carpet stay pretty small. 1 Quote Link to comment
