I have a 120gal and have a pretty big stock list and wasn't sure if it would work but it works for me with no issues.

Took a while to set up the hierarchy but it's doable.

2 x Marine Beta
3 x Storm Clownfish
1 x Yellow Belly Blue Hippo
1 x Regular Blue Hippo
1 x Gem Tang
1 x Yellow Tang
1 x Purple Tang
1 x Chocolate Tang
1 x Dsejardini Tang
1 x Blonde Naso
1 x Midas Blenny
1 x Bellus Angel
1 x Cleaner wrasse
1 x Copperband Butterfly
1 x Toby Puffer
1 x Pyramid Butterfly
2 x Cleaner Shrimp
1 x Fire Shrimp

After seeing tangs zip around in 1000g tanks, I find pictures like this so sad. It's not just the density of fish, it's that none of them can swim more than a few body lengths before hitting a wall.

Ya, I know, "Tang police"...

This is easy. Just lean a GSP rock against the wall and it will grow up from there. Once a piece attached, cut it off and move to rock to the next place. After a few move, you will have GSP cover growing up the back wall. You can really easy cut these GSP to small squares and put them on tiles and bring them to LFS. They are easily cut and removed from glass.
Appreciate it. Im going to grow it over a rock and tuck the rock against the wall. How big should it be before you cut it?

Any size. The larger, the faster they grow. 1 and 2 polyps can die easy and will take a very long time to grow.
