Few more before and afters and some new stuff
Plate coral day one was about 3 inches across
He has at least doubled in size! He is so pretty and active
My zoas I got had 2 heads
Growing slowly but surely
My candelabra gorgonian was a bit bleached when I got it.
Really gotten back its colors and is very happy
Here is one of my anemones on day one all bleached and freaked out
And here he is now king of the reef
Here is my new duncan
And my new hairy mushroom baby
and after looking at everyone else's I just had to go get me and new fighting conch! He is so awesome!
And here is my very first fish still alive and kickin

Wow, nice growth on that plate.
Isn't your tank a little small for a conch? I heard they need 40 gallons,

You tank is looking really beautiful! But i think you might want to consider supplemental feeding the conch, but no reason why he wouldnt do well in your tank with a little TLC :)

I feed all my critters anyway he will be perfectly fine in there.

But of course! I have 3 of my larger rocks out of the tank right now in search of my pistol shrimp so it looks a bit bare.

The FTS looks great even without the other rocks.
I can't believe how much lighter in color your sand looks from mine, I like it much more. Mine just kinda blends in with the rocks.

I really do credit that to my sand sifter goby he never lets anything settle for long. Do you have one?

I like really clean sand and I plan on getting a yellow watchman goby with a pistol shrimp for my reef tank. From different videos I've seen it seems when you have a pair the goby doesn't do much sandshifting. Just sits there while the shrimp messes around with the burrow. So do you think that having a pistol shrimp would interfere with its sandshifting duties? And are diamond gobys better sandshifters since they get quite a bit larger than the yellow watchman gobys?

Your sand is from TBS isn't it?
Sand sifting gobies won't pair up with shrimp and shrimp gobies won't sift sand. They're two different types.

UPDATE!!!
After months of never ending popping from random pistol shrimps, taking my tank apart numerous times etc etc
I decided to move my reef downstairs. I rearranged the tv room so that the tank is right behind the couch now I can sit and stare at it all I want and then go sleep all night uninterrupted!
It was a huge chore and took me 4 hours but everything traveled well and I got to redo my rocks again which I love to do anyway LOL
These pics are from my phone so the tank looks like a glowing space ship but you get the jist.
Still kind of hazy from being stirred up

I know that feeling! When i set my reef up i purposely put the tank next to the tv, that way i can watch my tank and my bf can watch the tv :) now there is no squabbling over the channels
