Looks awesome... Maybe move the toadstool lower or off to the side so it's not the center of attention...... I only say this cause mine has grown so big I just moved mine yesterday for that reason lol

Thank for the positive feedback guys! Was thinking about moving the toadstool aswell

Looks awesome! I'm just 2 months in on my reef but hope it looks that good after 8 months!

Is that a little candy cane coral toward the bottom, just left of center? If so, how long has it been in there? I'm just asking because I picked one up over the weekend and I'm wondering what kind of growth I can expect.

What are your lights?

 

[manvsalt]

Yeah its candy cane. its seems to be doin well, but in the month iv had it iv seen little to no growth. I decided to frag it and spread it out around the tank to see which frags do best. Up to now I haven't had a chance to target feed them but I believe target feeding would increase the growth rate substantially

The lighting is 2 12k t5's and 2 actinic blues

Very nice! How long was your tank up before you added it?

 

[manvsalt]

Waited for the tank to mature for about 6 month before I added the bta

 

[Big_Boss_77]

Six months on the bta? Cool cause I'm really wanting to add one to mine and I'm about to hit the six month mark. I really can't wait! He looks super healthy so you must be doing something right!

I actually got a green bubble tip about 3 month in and its bin absolutely fine an doin just as well as the pink one so i'd just go for it!
