Our 40g Island waterfall

Looks beautiful. So jellie ... my reef is suffering and I miss all of my beautiful corals that I have lost. Never mind .. will get it all going again. How do you plan it so that you don't get coral stinging and fighting issues? I can see that you group certain corals together - it really is lovely.
 
Beautiful tank and aquascape! My wife now wants a 3rd tank because of that youtube vid. Your corals look so happy together, mine think they are starring Braveheart and sting and kill each other every chance they get.

Thanks , pics are all taken with a cell phone so it's hard to capture the true look and feel as well in the video the flow is off so you don't see the full movement of the tank in that either :)

Now that the lps has its places were going to start to fill in , We have quite the extensive zoanthid collection so were going to start adding those now as filler as we didn't put a whole lot in yet , should have some extra color soon and we will make a new video then too:)

Cheers and happy new years

Haha going to take a lot , full coverage probably 300-500 . I have about 100 in a 5" x 8" area , 100 will turn into that many though with enough time :)

Man oh man :uhoh3:
how quickly do they reproduce under proper conditions?
How long will it take your 100 to turn into 200?
 
little late on the update but here goes:)

over the last while we added a bunch more inverts so our list now includes cleaner shrimps(6), anemone crabs(2), anemone shrimp(3) , harlequin serpent star(1) , fromia sea star(1), candy pistol shrimp(1) , blue legged hermits(20) , emerald crabs(1) ,halloween hermit(1) , pom pom crab(1)....plus more im sure im forgetting lol



the problem was though as nice as it is having shrimps running around with no fear of predators they were picking on the clams and just about anything else that moves lol

we dealt with this for a while but the clams were getting worse so......


enter the guard dogs!!!


we added a full grown pair of scott's fairy wrasses










so now the shrimp are in hiding...caves, ledges etc. not as active but the reef overall appreciates it and these two seem to show no interest in the shrimps and are the show fish of the tank (damn costly lol)
 
we added a large sebae anemone a while ago but was hit or miss one day it would attach the next it wouldn't , after killing the flow for a few weeks we decided to pull the bugger out so that space is now empty and we are debating on doing an acan garden in that spot or reserving it for something else down the road lol


we haven't added much for corals but a few more zoanthids around the top :)

we are fully stocked for fish atm

3 x full grown pj cardinals
2 x trojan clownfish
1 x citron goby
1 x sailfin blenny
1 x baby kole tang
2 x scotts fairy wrasses



here are some pics of how it sits today , we finally did another water change last night of 5g to freshen things up a bit.

water results have stayed consistent and still no measurable po4 or no3 and this is even with me babysitting 9 fish in my sump, no new gfo as of lately either.


tank is maturing on schedule and without a hitch :)
