Doug -
In my opinion, tank is pretty heavily stocked.
It's a 55 gallon with 10 colonies of 2 types of xenia, one large sinulara,
one large frogspawn, one large open brain, 5 leathers (2 varieties, 3 are
large), 5 (small) acropora, rhodactis, one large cladiellia, 2 gorgonians
(one large), 3 large colonies of green stars, 1 pink stars, a few colonies
of zoointhids, and lots of mushrooms. Plus, I have 9 fish.
