I love the height of your tank and how it looks with all those softies looks really good ! good Job!
Aww thanks aquakj! The tank is 24" tall because I bought it to be a seahorse tank. Eventually the ponies passed and I am old school frugal, so was not going to buy another tank. I added areas of DSB and used a tall coral skeleton to take up a lot of the height on the right. It worked out well because that is where I placed the rainbow BTAs and they stay there.
 
Here’s my (almost) 3 year old 4’x2’x18” tank, it’s predominantly leathers however I love the colours and the patterns the leathers bring. I do have a mix of LPS and other softies. My favourite coral is my newest leather I got yesterday, a Neon Green Lobophytum species.

And some top downs of all my leathers, from the order I got them in.

The two blue Lobophytum species are Atleast 7-8 years old at this point as they’re frags from my colony from my 3’ tank, I unfortunately lost the big colony in an ammonia spike but these guys made it through. Here’s the old colony;

My Ricordea yuma rock are also from this tank and again, somehow made it through the ammonia spike. They’re now big bounce Ricordeas with the largest polyps being Atleast 6 inches in diameter.

Thankyou, and they are my Ricordea yuma. They’re bubbled up to the point they really appear like anemones though.
