Needing suggestions on current aquascape for small tank

[austin campbell]

Is this too much rock? None of it is touch the glass so should be easy to clean with razor. This is my first reef tank (Fluval EVO 13.5). A lot of tanks I’ve seen similar to this size have much less. I just started cycling the other day. Plan on keeping a pair of clowns and maybe a goby with a few snails a shrimp. Also plan on growing soft corals but will eventually upgrade light to AI prime HD and trying the easier/hardier sps like birdsnest or green slime.

It looks great but small tank means small nano fish and small nano fish are prey fish on the reef, they instinctively need to hide and will be stressed if they can't hide. I would add a few rocks around the base to create small cracks and openings so fish have some way of feeling closed in and safe,.

It looks great! What kind of specific coral are you wanting to add?

Thanks! Probably starting with a hammer, torch, mushroom, and maybe a zoa. Once I update my light, I’d like some to try a monti and birdsnest sps.
