In my opinion it looks pretty good now and if you got large flat pieces it might make it look un-natural. But maybe few smaller flat pieces for you to place corals sounds like a fine idea. Just gotta make sure they are secure. I have some flat ones in my 20g for corals to sit on as well.
I think the right side of the tank looks perfect but maybe you can add to the center and the left side? Just a thought...
Lemme see what I can get, I have some lights off already though. Brb
In the pictures I tried to show how I have corals staggered on different levels. All based on their needs as far as light and flow. The ones form the 125g show alot of empty rocks, but each rock is a future home allocated already for a coral.
These are not the best shots of my tank. I feel silly putting them up but I hope you get the point.
Like the mushrooms are on the bottom and have a slight overhang over them since they don't need alot of light. My candycanes are mid tank and my SPS are higher up, like the birdsnest.
I hope the pictures help a little at least. You kinda want a a spot for eveyrthing. And spacing between them. Thast why I generally assign a coral for a whole rock.
Holy candy canes!! Looks awesome I like the birdsnest also, I get what you're saying tho there needs to be plenty of room, what is the yellow and black striped thing in one of the first pics??
That's cool, i think you have finally pushed to buy t5 bulbs for my 6 bulb fixture! I know my pc's won't support the corals I wanna do, im going to stick with all corals that feed off light for now.. How did that sun coral work out that you got a while back?? They're awesome looking but open at night??
My sun coral sadly did not make it. :-( I tried really hard to feed it but it never really opened for me. Not sure cause it wasnt open in the store when I got it but I figured it would at night. But it only opened a tiny bit a few times.
Sun corals are best left in their gigantic colonies in the wild. Valiant attempt Carey. I have tens of thousands and decades invested and have come to realize, some things are best left in the sea. Both of your reefs are very cool and never give up. It wasn't but a decade or two ago where nobody thought any of this was possible, much less artificial propagation of corals in your living room.
