New tank- what do ya think?

Ewelina · Jun 15, 2018

I would like to know your opinion since it's my new tank. I just added some extra live rock and put some corals on. I wonder if I should keep the brain coral and the bubble coral (it's then ok ne sitting I the top) in a bigger distance, or is that good enough so they dont hurt each other or other coral. Should I add anything else, or change the placement of LR or should that work? Thanks for all opinions.

Tank looks good. I would recommend waiting for sometime if you have added live rocks recently, before adding new corals. How long the tank is running ?

Your tank looks great @Ewelina and welcome to R2R!

The coral spacing looks ok at the moment but the corals will grow and worst case you can always move them around if and when needed.

rock work looks great.as your corals grow and you add more it looks like you have plenty of room for more rock to build on.keep posting pics if ya would.

A Bowfront. Very nice. My first tank was a 36 gallon bowfront. What size is that one?

It's been probably about a month. I know it's all early, but all of the parameters were fine, and the extra live rock that I added came from the same source that those 2 upper pieces of coral, and it was a steal!
