itzclayyo, my tank is pretty much packed. As much as I want to add more corals, I must resist. I am just hoping that my little zoa frags would form colonies over my existing rock work ... then I'll be happy and move on to a slightly bigger tank.

In my opinion you are fine to add more corals....you may just be over doing it with 3 fish, or at your limit with 3

Wow, great tank! I must say though you should have researched and found out the the flower pot coral wont live much past several months for reasons we have yet to find out. Hope you didnt spend to much on it. It is pretty which is why people still buy and sell them.

You are right "begin2117," I should've researched it before I made the purchase. It was just so beautiful when I saw it in my local reef aquarium store that I couldn't resist but bring it home. I spent $40 on it, hopefully it remains the same and not waste away. The funny thing is that I thought it was doing well since I've noticed that the "skeleton" is getting bigger (the widths).
