Hello,

I am new to reefing and being overwhelmed with the amount of info on which corals can sit next to which and what light and flow each need. Should have done a lot more thinking while I was building my scape.

I would like to have a mixed reef with softies, LPS, and eventually SPS. Here are some pics of my 32 gal tank, can someone please suggest where to put Euphyllias, Acan garden, Zoa garden, maybe some mushrooms, Duncans, etc. I know SPS will probably have to dominate the top.

All suggestions welcome, pics of your reef would also be helpful to inspire.

thank you very much in advance.

You are on the right track
Low light corals on bottom.
Softies and mushrooms generally dont like very strong flow, but they do like a lot of light.
You will just have to play with where to place them depending on your lights and powerheads
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
