    My tank has been set up for around 5 months. It's LPS and softy dominated. But I am kind of running out of space for placing more corals. Any advice?

    It's a 55 Gallon without sump.

    Livestock:
    2 clowns
    1 firefish
    1 scooter blenny
    1 cleaner wrasse

    2 cleaner shrimps
    hermits and snails...

    Err, I have a corallife 65 skimmer, and it worked surprisingly well... Other than that, I have a chemi-pure bag in the skimmer return... But I do use high quality DI water only... The water is from some research building in my university so I think it should be scientific grade lol...

    Thanks for replying! Another trouble I am running into is that the pair of cleaner shrimps are constantly harassing my torch coral at the right corner of the tank. See one head is fully closed now. It seems they are trying to get food out of it. Usually at noon the torch is still fully open then in the late afternoon the cleaner shrimps are there on time everyday harassing them...
