      Keep it simple VS Fully stocked tank

      I'm debating if I should go all out and fully stock my tank. I have enough at the moment to keep a simple mixed reef.

      Fully stocked tanks end up with corals MIA in the rockwork.

      How's your tank?

      Don't go over board fill up the tank with consideration of growth for them to fill in those gaps

      Go big or go home!! Lol
      C'mon Carlos, I think you know the answer already. Reefers can't stop from putting corals in tanks.

      Both have their merits. Don't overstock unless you got the room and most of all the filtration/cleaning crew for it. Keeping an overstocked tank clean can be problematic and maintenance-intensive if you don't have the equipment for it.
      I also personally hate my tank looking like this, I like tanks to have an organic feel and not look like a mere coral display.

      Awesome pics Jessie. Carlos don't do what I did, you end up having to get rid of stuff you like to make space for things you like more...

      I'm confused. Are we talking about fruit stands?
