Top to middle coral?

[Reefer Matt]

It depends on what your par levels are, and your goals. Most people put lps and sps on the middle and top of a mixed reef, since the par levels are higher there.

Hey guys, just a quick question. I have a 40 gallon breeder mixed reef tank & was wondering if there is a preferred or recommended coral for middle to top of the tank. Thanks in advance, just trying to fill out some space.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Already good advice here, so I'll defer to others... though if you don't have canopy the mangrove look (out of tank!) is very popular around here. @AlgaeBarn usually has nice selection you might consider.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
