How do these people with the ranks of the month get all those corals in there tank with out warfare? It looks amazing everytime I see one it blows my mind. Everything I read tells me most coral need so much room between eachother or they will fight. So how does the s**t not hit the fan in these tanks?

Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder. To me, they look overcrowded, crammed, artificial, and i think they are disasters waiting to hap

en. Oh and i can't stand a black sandbed.

monster, i think they normally frag if a piece of one coral gets close to another to keep them seperate.

locust did u mean black background or sandbed? i also dont like either. makes it look too dark. i do agree with locust that these tanks look un-natural sometimes though..
but when they do look natural, they are amazing.

I have a black backround in mine but its a rsm so I reslly have no choice. But I like the look of open back and the sand n that tank is white. So I'm guessing that is a tank that has grown to what it is? Cause putting that together would he next to impossible.

the sps corals seen in these tanks are typically pretty peaceful.
putting softies and lps that close is when you tun in to warfare.

I agree with Fishamatank. SPS wage silent wars......basically just trying to outgrow each to get the lion's share of the light. LPS wage all-out war and tend to "eat" their opponents. I have had more than one SPS frag that was filling out nicely just to turn up bleach white over night (too close to an LPS)
