How is this for coral placement?

[RickvDam]

So I’m starting to slowly add corals and I would like to know what you think about this placement:

Yellow: Torches

Pink: LPS like Candy Cane corals

Cyan: SPS like Montipora and Stylophora

Green: Hammers/Frogspawn

Red: Zoa garden

Looks like you nailed it.

Glad to hear that. Wasn’t too sure if it was maybe too low for torches but I’d love at least 1-2, and that is really the only spot thats suitable so it doesn’t sting other corals.

looks good to me, however, i'd personally switch the pink with the yellow. the candy canes should do well in lower flow, which would allow the torches to have a bit more flow/light.

Won’t that cause a lack of light for the candycanes? Thought they needed slightly above medium.

i've seen candy canes at all levels, really. they're much hardier than torches, imho. either way is fine. i just figured the torches would benefit from more flow being a big higher than the candy canes.
