I am new to saltwater and just realized something from this thread. Its not the fish that make the tank, its the corals! This thread has me interested in corals like never before!

If you dont mind, could you elaborate on this tank? It looks very nice. What is that in the last pic, mushrooms? What is suctioned to the front and side of the glass in the first pic, Frags ? Sorry, brand new to corals.

Thanks! its a soft coral only 12g aquapod with fuge, chemi-pure elite, and purigen in the back chambers. Stock power compacts. The mushrooms in the last pic are ricordea and some yumas. And yes, i had up to three small frag racks at one point. Now i only have one with some of my favorite zoas/palys.

I have a BioCube29 with a G. Smithii Mantis Shrimp, I guess I am limited by low light soft corals, what's my options? Shrooms?

This is one of my favorite threads- time to bump it up!
Any new (or unposted) soft dominated tanks out there?

I'll play fair and post mine I guess. No decent pics right now, but this video is brand new.


Keep those posts coming!

A softy-dominated WIP. The main reason for it is that the light wasn't enough for the frogspawn and it bleached out a bit, so I took it back to the store. Looks like its all softies (and macro!) for me, haha.

My display is an AGA 125 that I drilled and made small overflows for. It's lit by T5s. It is mainly a softy tank at this point since I've lost the majority of my SPS and with my twins being born and my time and money getting even more squeezed, staying softy dominated was my best chance at keeping the tank going. Here is a "full tank shot" taken using the iPhone 5's new panorama setting:

Hormigaquatica, I love your tank. How do you keep all those leathers happy? Do you feed anything? Lights? Ever have problems with chemical warfare?

Everybody's tanks here look so good!

kingfisherflesh, you'll like my tank then if that's what you want to do, I'll have to get a pic of it up here

WOW looks real good for 15 months. I like your placement of corals, it looks real natural. Your water is so clear for all the life I see, what are you using for filtration? Thanks for sharing.---Rick
