Hey guys, I'm looking to add more softies to my mixed reef tank. Can anyone make some suggestions or post your tank pics so i can get an idea?

So far i have a large finger leather, zoas, palys, mushrooms. And a mix of LPS ans SPS. I like the movement of softies so looking to add more.

Also, I have a ton of green already so looking for more reds, or orange....basically anything other than green!

Thanks!

Nice tanks! RBU1, What is that at the top, middle of your 3rd pic that kinda looks like a giant Poci?

Paul B, Loving the bottles in the tank! Correct me if im wrong but i believe it was your tank that is 30 years old?? Sorry if im wrong.

Sven egil, sorry your pic not showing,

Apercula, What lighting are you using now? I really like your first pic, the light looks really natural. And is that a giant mushroom on the right side of the first pic?
 
Xenia!

Not sure what one you are reffering to.

Actually it will be 39 or 40 years old in March.
 
Awesome tank41! Love the xenia forest. Are those xenias as well with the long sweepers? I love red sea xenias but scared it will totally take over my tank.
 
Thanks for the compliment Mel. I think you are refering to the anthelia. I do have a few lps in there also. The anthelia also grows like mad. I started off with 3 stalks of xenia and that Is what I have now. That is even after trimming some and giving some away.
