Hammers Peak

[Vinh]

Thinking about my coral layout and wanted to get some expert advice on placement and compatibility. I recently saw a video of a tank with lots of hammers in it and really liked it so this inspired by that. I'm confused about coral compatibility so I'm hoping this will work. Any thoughts and/or advice?

Blue: 3 different types of hammers (but may consider a combo of hammer and frogspawn)
Red: Zoa island (may have something on it's peak that has movement)
Green: Combo of Favia and Blastomussa (not sure if lighting will be too much)
Purple: Brain or mushroom

Overall the corals will tell you what's the best place.best thing is to place them and watch them

OK. One question I have is regarding frogspawn and hammers. Can they be placed next to each other?

Yes the are USUALLY ok together, at least mine have been.

Water flow is very important too,light may be good but ur coral does not do its best because of low or high current.

Having a bunch of them together can be quite appealing. I created a zone that I call my LPS Bommie. Here's a picture of a piece of it.

@arman I'm adding a powerhead to that side of the tank with a rotating deflector. I'm actually worried I'll have too much flow.

@melev nice pic!

If u saw ur reefs not doing their best u can easily reduce the flow.
