24 x 24 x 18, LEDs, two mp10s, marco rock. sump and skimmer. been set up about three months. weekly water changes.

is this too overstocked? any thing i should worry about? seriously, not trying to "show off" or anything. i can take criticism.

overstocked? I only see 3 fish, are there more not seen in the pics?
Is that a leopard wrasse? How do you like him? Does he eat flakes/pellets?
The only criticism I would have is that it might be a little early for a bta & a clam in there. But it looks nice, I like the rockwork.

spots for more corals. don't tell me that. cuz u know i probably will get some more then.

but really, i kinda hit the point where i am thinking "oh crud, what happens when all these corals grow in!" then it would be crowded.

is the common rule to just not let corals touch? i mean, zoas don't look mean. or blastos. but what do i know. how about acans?

i know this might be questions for another thread. sure it's been answered before in other threads. but i was just wondering for the ones in my tank. i got zoas, blasto, duncans, Green Pocillopora, acans, mushroooms, some hard corals (not good with names), monti caps, and hydnophora.

as corals grow, they'll encroach on eachother and war will ensue. You can spread them out so they don't touch to avoid this for as long as possible, though.

well, i sorta requested a lazy goby from my LFS. didn't wanna deal with sandstorms. but this one does no absolutely work. not sure of the name. but he's white, with a black fin. maybe diamond goby?

Awesome setup. Gotta love the cubes. Really like the rockwork looks like mine, 28x28x32. I need to get 2 vortechs. Yours looks much cleaner than mine having 5 koralias cluttering it up!
