What’s your plans with the tank?
I am envisioning a vertically oriented minimalist aquascape. LPS dominated with Euphyllia and acans but also softies of zoas and rock anemones. Largest fish will likely be Flame Angel with Six Line Wrasse, Royal Gramma, Mandarin Goby, other small species. Still in planning stage for equipment. Learning about Apex, is there a brand name of equipment that uses a single ap to control all their devices?

Will be a nice tank. I would avoid the six line wrasse which will eventually become a menace. Consider a pink streak wrasse instead.

Looking for recommendations for power head.
Mp10-disadvantage is I have dry side on side of aquarium. I know this is the norm
but it does take away from the aesthetic’s. Another disadvantage is glass is too thick although others use it without a problem.
Mp40-disadvantage is it’s even a larger dry side.
RedSea Reefwave25-this this is quite large and has a wire in the tank coming out, but at least it’s on the rear wall.

Update please :)

How much rock did you need to buy for that scape?

Did you go with the ReefLed 90? How is it and is the arm long enough to get it to the center of the tank?
The rock is Caribsea LifeRock. I do not recall how many pounds. My guesstimate is about 60. The light is the ReefLed 90. As the mounting arm is attached to the rear wall of the ato , not the rear wall of display tank IT DOES NOT extend to center. However there is no shadowing.
