Hi guys I’m Kim,

My tank is 125gal w/ a 75 gal sump and I’ve had it for years now but started reefing about 2 yrs now. I love my tank so much but always feel that it needs more and doesn’t look as good when I see other beautiful tanks.

It seems like anytime I am bored I hope online and find things to order because when that shipment comes in it’s like Christmas for me lol. Anyways here is a clip of my tank and picture. I also love anenomes so much!! I have a few. Half of the other things in my tank I picked out because of the movement. I dnt know much about sps, lps, etc. I just know if I see something that has movement and I read up on it and I can put it in my tank i’ll try it!

1st question is do I have space to put more things?

Going off of my tank picture and video what can you suggest I can buy w/ movement?

I usually order from live aquaria or blue zoo aquatic... Can anyone else suggest another legit site please?

About a month ago I ordered from a new place Holy mackerel sea life and never received my items so now I’m skeptical on who I order with :/

I Have all this empty space in the middle of my bottom tank on the sand but anytime I place anything on the sand my tomato clown pushes it away and just attacks it! Literally anything... he will bite it or push it away. Is there anything you guys can suggest for tht or can I just not use that space on the sand ever!

I’m groot. Looks good, you may like some type of sea fan/gorgonian or a goniapora. They can both be a little difficult but some of the gorgonians are photosynthetic.

You need to find a star lord acro or zoa. Maybe get some infinity stones and you can dust any hitchhikers. Might even get reasonable prices if you let them know they only have a 50/50 shot if they try to mess you over.

You have a very nice tank.

If your clown wants a clear sand bed, there is’t much you can do about it. It IS her home.

SPS corals take a kind of different approach. They like high flow, lots of light, low nutrients and stability. I think they work best in tanks dedicated to that. Also being Stoney corals, they are well rigid. And rigid isn’t movement. So they might not be your thing.

You might like gorgonians. Many of the Caribbean gorgonians are photosynthetic and are quite attractive. If you have a slow pulsating flow, they will wave in it.

Zoas are pretty but alot of them I’ve seen are on the sand beds which I can’t do because of my clown.
What are infinity stones?

Thank you and I kind of figured there wasn’t anything I can actually do but figured I’d ask anyway... thanks!
Gorgonians... Thanks i’ll look tht up as well.

Thats what I found! well some coral need lower flow to thrive! some need less/more nutrients or different lighting. Predator fish/aggressive tank? Large fish 16"? So many options! And then there is cold or warm water tanks!

Check out this tank:

I love how he has a garden of zoas. Seriously, I'd check out what he has to fill in the blank spaces on his tank. If you don't know what they are message him. This is only a 30 gal tank! I was blown away when I realized that.

Wow, looks really good. You might want to think about Duncan's or elegance coral for movement. Goniopora would also look nice.

thank you and I tried the elegance coral before and it didn’t last. It totally ripped off the rock because I had it on my sandbed and my clown had a field day with it

know what would look good in that empty spot... a scolymia up front and center. its not movement but it would look awesome. just my take. but honestly the tank looks good and healthy
