The tank is just a little over 2 months old, so I took some new pics last night. It's hard shooting through the curved glass, so not all of them turned out. Here are some of the better ones.

Yep - it's all part of the master plan.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Shooting through the curved glass of the Aquapods makes things a bit more difficult.

wow - amazing! and so young. I have a 29 g that's 3 weeks old, with nothing but lr and hermits. How did you get yours to that stage so quickly?? I'm new to SW. I thought you're always supposed to wait for weeks btw each addition?

It really comes down to bioload - basically how much "waste" a tank can process efficiently. I only have 2 fish, and they only get fed 2-3 times per week, so fish waste and excess food is all but nill. Corals have very little impact on the bioload of a tank, so as long as your water parameters are stable you can add corals (in theory) as quickly as you can buy them.
I have been very lucky to have some local reefers who are heavily into the frag scene, so I've been able to pick up a lot of small corals for relatively little money.
