Love the triggers in there. How do they behave with the corals and each other? I also noticed you have snails and a clam with I would have thought would get eaten.

You have two clowns that I wouldn’t have thought would mix well either, do they get along ok?

Great tank.

Great tank.
The triggers get along fine although they do have a tussle here and there with the Sargassum being the instigator, but nothing that draws blood. None of the 4 triggers bother the hermits, snails or the clam I’ve had for 3 years. The clown trigger likes to naw on the red monti caps from time to time which keeps them from getting to big. They don’t bother any of the corals. The Maroon clown hangs out on the Duncan colony and the tomato up higher in the tank by some Acro colonies, so they don’t see each other much with all the rock and coral.
 
Amazing transformation. Thank you for sharing the pics. As you added corals what hardware changes did you make?
Only hardware changes were adding more lights and a couple more jebao wavemakers.

I was impressed because I thought you had two triggers lol but you have four! I see a clown, Picasso and a sargassum. What’s number four?

Oh wow! That's crazy beautiful. Happy bday to your tank.
 
Your wallet must be crying, but beautiful tank!

Wallet is not really crying that bad as all corals were bought as small frags mostly from the lfs's 10$ to 30$ dollar sections. Plus every 6 months or so I trim up a bunch of the corals and sell them to guys and also trade them in to the lfs's usually for credit as I get more$ and use it to stock up on fish food for the monsters. I did buy this year a battle box and a Walt Disney and Homewrecker frag an Oregon tort frag and a couple other nicer frags with the money I got from selling off a bunch of frags and duplicate colonies.
 
wow man youre self sustaining, thats the goal when your tank pays for itself.
