New tank looking for ideas in the future

[lazy josh]

Hi everyone im not ready for corals yet but i really like the colors of blastos and zoanthids how far apart should i keep them or can they be close
I would also like a hammer and torch eventually as well
As of now my plan would be Lps tank with some zoanthids spread throughout if that would be ideal! Please let me know if i need space between them
My tank is newer just waiting for everything to stabilize

you need to get the tank cycled , mean to get the Bactria in the tank mature so the feeding is not plosion the tank , , keep the tank running with light and power head for few days then add few damsels fish and feed them and check the nitrate and when the nitrate come down within range then you can add a piece of coral and watch if survived then add more
do more checking the alkalinity and the phosphate , calcium , nitrate ...

I give most corals in my tank a few inches radius each and usually just watch for aggression.
