Put two big chunk of real reef rocks. I tried to lay out naturally . Left side, I will mostly put many of LPS corals especially scoly and arcan. I also want to build zoa colony.
Right side will be SPS zone. I will fill out my LPS first because it is easier to maintain in my capability and move to SPS.

Comment is always welcome
Thanks.

Your rock placement looks awesome.
Can I ask as a novice who is planning his first reef tank - any concerns about the "artificial" rock and the cycling/establishment process? I've read the cycle is slower without live rock and run higher risk of algae/pest outbreaks due to the reduced biodiversity from using non live rock.
