I want to arrange these corals so they get along better. Any suggestions?
I am thinking of putting the cabbage leathers together and move the frogspawn to the left with the hammers.
Is the large spaghetti leather on the right going to be a problem with the cabbage leathers or will they get along if touching?
Any suggestions?
 
Maybe place the sps corals on one side of the tank, place the lps on the other side of the tank, then place a powerhead in the rear centre of the tank facing towards the front. This would create two separate currents sort of dividing the tankintwo like an 8 on its side. The rocks would needto be away fromthe glass to allow the current to work correctly. Also, by placing a thinlong rock against the centre front glass this would help divide the current into two parts.
The water current would then perform a sort of buffer by creating seperate zones within the tank andeffectively keeping the two groups of toxins contained.
