I have a nice rainbow galaxea coral and need to find a place for it. Trouble is, it has really long sweepers and lots of them! I had it high on a rock with nothing near it--tank is only 2 months old. Glued it to a lone rock and put it in front of my glass, in front of another rock with gps on it. Last night, I couldn't believe the 7-8 inch sweepers that could reach the gsp's and the favia next to it on the sand bed!
Most of the tank has pretty good flow, and turbulent flow--4 wavemakers. The 2 corners probably the least flow. Tank is a 125 gal with current ic marine pro lights approx 7 inches above water.
So where is the best place? Up high and maybe sweepers are away from anything?
Mid-up against rock where there is nothing-but that means I lose all that space
Back corner where there is no other coral, and won't be coral on the back of hte rocks but flow most likely lower here.
There's one of the super long one but half of what it was last night during lights off
Peek a boo from the ruby head wrasse peeking through hole in gsp rock
