Hello i am upgrading from a water box 15 pen to a 25 peninsula. I had one rock in the middle of the 15 because there honestly wasn't a lot of room.. since i am upgrading an going to be adding more corals i had some questions?? should i get branch rocks or just put some islands around? Obviously being a nano there's not going to be a ton of room but I want something to look natural as can be not extremely overcrowded and justice a beautiful flow but I struggle with knowing what to do other than placing this big rock in LOL Any ideas would be great!

This is obvs the current setup in the current 15, Since I am pretty new to this any and all criticisms and ideas are appreciated! And if you also have ideas of what corals to put where would be appreciated as obviously like I stated I'm pretty new
 
I like the second image with the hole in the middle, fish would certainly take advantage of it. You could do the same and just add to it.

I like branch as well but it's significantly more expensive and harder to find. Although you will not need a lot less in a 25 especially if you incorporate it.

Definitely go with what you want, your minds image of how you want the tank to look with corals.

Congrats on the up grade.🙂

Agreed with the second image, the hole allows for so much more flow and generally looks nicer in my opinion, plus it opens up the reef tank for fish to explore. Just arrange it how you like and let your ideas come to fruition!
