Hello, I have a 20 gallon long salt water tank that I’ve had for around 2 months possibly 3. I current have 6 soft corals along with 5 snails and a hermit. I recently joined the community because I have a lot of questions and google isn’t always the best. I only have one power head and it isn’t very powerful so I’m not too sure on upgrading it. As of right now though, this is how my tank is (with light off). Open to any and all criticism, really need help from other reefers about the positioning of my corals, water flow, etc.

Very nice looking aquascape! Have you thought about maybe adding a small island off to the right side of your tank? Might give you more room for your coral and more places for fishes to hide! (P.s. start a build thread so we can follow your progress!)

Hello and welcome!
Great advice above. I also think your fish will appreciate a bit more rocks making some caves and hiding places for them.
