So I recently rescaped in my corner 55 gallon trying to get better flow while also cleaning off some algea. I like the rock, but I’m not sure that it’s tall enough for the height of the tank. It’s going to be an LPS reef, so probably no tall growing corals. Just looking for some input.

It looks sharp and i have one piece of thought. You have a large surface area of rock in/on your sand bed. If you could lift it somehow (PVC or something) you would get better flow around and under, reducing waste build up under that rock.

I love the look overall!

Oh wow Thank you for the compliments! Stocking so far includes 2 clowns, and 2-3 trochus snails. In the future I’m planning on adding a cleaner shrimp or 2, a porcelain crab or 2, and a blenny of some sort. Corals will include an assortment of blastomussa, acans, leptastrea, favia, and hopefully some frogspawn or torches. Nothing set in stone, and definitely open to other ideas. Thinking a trachy is a must!
