Hey everyone,

I was hoping to get some guidance on coral placement for my tank. Im open to suggestions so please let me know what you think would work well and add to the display.

The top layers i eventually want to have acros.
The small rock in centre has some zoa frags to cover the rock.
I was thinking a hammer garden on the right rock. some torches on the smaller rock next to it, or on the base of the main structure on the front left.
I also want to add some pink and green goni's somewhere.
I also like rics.
Actually i like everything....
I'm new to this hobby and i LOVE it.

Have a red tequila nem coming so i hope it doesnt mess with the plan

Thanks in advance.

Nice rock scape. The anemone will find a place it likes and once it is done wandering you will know how much space you have left.

interested to find out what a red tequila anemone is . Watch for the nem and start moving the corals out of the way before it comes though and kills them. The tank does look a bit new though and it is always recommended for the tank to be at least 9 months old. for some reason anemones just die in younger tanks seemingly randomly a lot of the time, in no way saying that it wont live though just wanted to let you know

I would more look at flow and how much the LPS on the sandbed are being hit, scolymia and acans dont like much light or flow

Par meters can be your best friend you can rent them. As far a flow lps corals don’t like a lot of flow u have to temporarily place and see how they react.
