thanks..
although it look like a lot of sps, it is a mixed reef.
i also have softcorals and few Lps in my system.
~200 species of corals
WOW, such beauty!!!
Do the corals grow into each other & sting one another or do you prune them before they sting each other?
So do you just let everything be & let nature take its course & the corals sting & grow around each other, or do you prune & monitor them constantly?

I just saw this video of yours & thanks for honest video.
I had an issue with purple stylo on just LED's in the past, where everything else was fine. Basically since LED is so point source & narrow focus, the bottom of the purple stylo RTN or white out as the colony got bigger.
In that video I think I see some rtn as well & even though you have 14x T5's & plenty of dispersed light? Any thoughts?
And thanks for such an honest video. Your tank is my dream of keeping so many diversities in one tank. An amazing feat!!!!!

it's not up to me, i have done my effort and when not appreciated i can't forced it and i have peace with it.
I am surprised that you are able to keep so much diversity & are able to keep your SPS's happy with that much softies.
Some questions to help me figure it out.
1) Do you run carbon or a phosphate remover? How may grams or cups do you put in & how often do you change it out? Are they in a reactor?
2) How much water do you change out & how often and do you stir the sand or clean the sand at the same time or turky baste the rocks?
3) Do you supplement trace minerals?
4) How many hours do you keep your T5's on?
5) Do you spot feed your corals or your entire tank for the corals?

i have a mixed reef with over 200 species of corals.
The purple/blue mushrooms can spread, but i have no problem with that. i got my methods to keep them in line.
