Coral Placement / Tank feedback

[dionis2508]

Hello everyone, two months ago I decided to switch over from freshwater to saltwater tanks and I'm trying to get the hang of things. I'm currently working with a Waterbox 20 Cube, AI Prime 16HD Reef, Nero 5, live sand, and live rocks. After making sure the tank was fully cycled I decided to get my frags and I'm still trying to figure out the correct placement for things. I was hoping to get some guidance/feedback on the placement of my corals as well as the set up of my rocks. I've seen tanks with much more rocks and I feel like I'm limited in space so I'm not sure if I'm missing rocks or if I'm okay. I currently have 20lbs of rocks.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out what fishes to get for the tank to complete it. I currently only have a blood shrimp and two snails and a blue leg crab. I used to have a pair of clowns but they died from brooklynella due to my lack of knowledge at the time. Most likely I will be getting a new pair soon.

1) Watch out about your green star polyps on the main rock structure. It will quickly spread and will cover the entire structure in no time. Consider making a GSP island.
2) As far as rock is concerned, it's completely a personal preference. Some people like it minimalistic and others enjoy proving tons of nooks/crannies for their fish/inverts to play/hide in.
3) Long term, you might find the aussie lord is happier a bit lower, but that's just a general trend- you'll have to see how it's color is and how "bubbly it is"
4) What fish were you leaning towards (beyond clowns). I'm a big fan of gobies/blennies in tanks of this size. Tons of personality and most are extremely peaceful.
