    I got some christmas money and i want to buy some more coral,inverts,and some other things possibly. I think my tank is somewhat full but i want to know if i can fit some more in the tank. What do you guys think i could get and how much more? Here is a recent tank picture

    Here is what i have so far as fish.
    Pair of false percs
    Randalli Goby
    Purple Firefish
    Neon Dottyback
    AND a pistol shrimp(not sure if he still alive or not)

    Params are all good and stable for so far about 2 months.

    I looks like you could add more in to me. More zooanthids and acans would easily fit.

    well first of all AWESOME TANK! way better then mine. As for the pistol shrimp, again, hopefully he didn't die in the molt. Also how much money do you have? That might be a factor in deciding what fish/inverts u can and cant get. Anyway, maybe you can add some red mushrooms? If you're params are good thhey can spread pretty quickly. For fish I would add a hi fin red banded goby; if you've ever seen a dracula goby, they look very similar except that the dracula is like $130 but the hi fin red banded goby is maybe $20 or so. O yeah my avatar is a dracula, so it looks similar to it

    oh you feed'em? Well you don't always have to; I think feeding just helps them grow faster. Well I'd think to go with maybe a small fish; how about a neon goby or a court jester/rainford goby? As for corals again go for maybe the red mushroom and some more zoas, cuz zoas are cool lol

    :O $300... That's enough to work with! I'd do some small frags and let them reproduce. Or, if you want something that'll really stand out, maybe a Toadstool leather. I'm not sure how your corals would react to the toxins it gives off. I haven't started on stony corals yet. :-/ a couple months ago, my LFS had something that looked exactly like a Kenya, but a vibrant neon green. For all I know, it might've been some sort of Kenya; it would look dazzling in your tank.

    speaking of $300 in Christmas money, I DIDN'T GET S*** LOL. No fair; i never get money for christmas, but probably because i have 2 brothers and 2 sisters so $100 for each at least would still be a lot
