Coral placement , first time aquascaper

[newreeferr]

I’m running a stock fluval light have had very nice growth with the hammers I have had for awhile. Just got a group of new coral just hesitant on where to put them but want to sooner then later so my conch doesn’t mess with them. First time can you place corals at an angle like or should it be place straight up and down? And how far up with the stock light could I place hammers and my other corals.

Just give your hammers space from other corals. You shouldn’t have a problem with hammer’s touching each other but they can be aggressive to other stuff.

You can definitely mount corals sideways or angled! I think your Duncan and candy canes are friendly to most anything else so no worry’s there.

Should I keep my Zoas away from my hammers ?

You'll need to use a par meter to determine what your light produces at different depths. You can also look up the light requirements for hammers (since you say yours are doing well) and extrapolate from there.

Yes
