15 dec 2011 shifted some corals to my 28g. some of the mushies due to the downwards fall from the HOB Filter it detached from the rocks manage to save some by relocating it.

quite a nice setup.. what tank is that?

I think your tank will benefit if you do the following:

Add a bigger piece of rock as centrepiece, I think you need more height in your scape.

Also, you may want to add in some flowy corals like hammer, torch, octo etc. I noticed you have a small torch but i think you need 1 or 2 more.. maybe a gornio/alveo ?

Add some zoas, rics and yuma and it will add lots of colours without taking too much space.

Livestock - not sure what you have other than the damsel but can consider a small clownfish pair, purple firefish, goby or dottyback etc.. :)

thanks bro for the feedback.

yup needs to fill up my tank with more corals

cant really add more rocks in the center as due to the down flow of the HOB filter i wont be able to place corals in the center top area.

as for Fishes.. tempted to add fishes also but want to keep the nutrient as low as possible :)
