FOR THAN FROM TIDAL GARDENS

Does my tank look too overstocked to you? I had one of my torches sting my trachyphyllia to death last week so Im scared its getting too packed in here. My first coral loss.....Please let me know or if you think some specific corals are too close for comfort. 20g long only been in the hobby for about 5months.

Looks good and healthy to me, and, of course, you'll monitor growth and direction over time. I use torches as natural "hedge trimmers" for Xenia and am always cautious when I turn off pumps to make sure they don't droop down onto any thing else. That said, and as you know, torches particularly can have very long stinging tentacles and deserve a wide berth.

I see room for some sticks! Your definitely full on LPS though.

Idk I don't really like sps all I have is a birdsnest and porites w bisma worms. I haven't really seen any sps I like they're not that colorful IMO.

I think your tank looks absolutly amazing and no one will know better than you if its overstocked. You have the perfect mindset and observance about noticing the warfare going on so I think you got it!

Thank you!! I'm just starting out and I know I definitely went overboard with the corals (I'm addicted)but I just don't want anything to die. Only death I had so far is one of my torches stung my trachyphyllia and now it just a white skeleton so I want to make sure nothing like that happens again if I can help it. I'm scared one morning I'll wake up and my whole tank is dead lol I've had nightmares about that before.

Trachyphyllia should be on the sand bed. Looks like you got room to squeeze one in there somewhere.

Bigger tank obviously is the correct choice.
