I was wondering if I might solicit some advice from the LPS hivemind. To this point I've been zoas and softies only, but I setup a new tank, and I'm making the jump to LPS.

I'm planning a couple each hammers, frogspawn and torches, and I want to get some blastos for extra color. I'll also have several zoas and a few mushrooms.

I want to do it right, so I'm planning out the placement. I have some ideas, but thats where I need the help.

Hardware: 2x Prime HDs, 2x Nero 3s set to medium-low flow patterns on opposite ends, IM 30L (display area is 35l x 10w x 13h). I've tweaked my light schedule and my PAR testing shows I'm 80-150 pretty much anywhere in the tank, top to bottom and end to end.

I've included pictures of my aquascape. Zoas will be on the islands in the sandbed, everywhere else is open for business!

I'm open to all suggestions!

Acclimate them in the sandbed then move them up the tank slowly. Only you know the best places in your tank for them, something a wise man told me
