40g Breeder Soft/LPS Thoughts?

[TMF89]

Hey guys, looking at setting up a 40 gallon breeder for fish, soft, and LPS corals, in that order. Here's a first attempt, one with two separate rock outcroppings, and one with an extra overhang between the two outcroppings on the center/right. I'm guessing with the multiple overhangs/holes/caverns/whatever you'd like to call them, I'll need to pay extra attention to waterflow? What else am I missing, or would you guys switch up? Thanks for the advice!!

Just make sure you leave a 2" border to get a scraper in.

That scape looks great but I agree about not being too close to the glass. I think you will be pleased with a softie/LPS tank with fish. I have a 56 gallon and except the height my tank is similar and I love it. Softie/LPS can be beautiful without the diligent monitoring of parameters once they mature. I have ornamental macroalgae also for nutrient uptake so I can feed my fish heavily, which they seem to appreciate. I am down to a 5 gallon water change once every 2-3 weeks now. I do add a capful of Coral vite every week to replenish trace minerals.

Thanks for the advice guys, I moved the rocks a bit to ensure I have 2-3" of clearance on all sides, as you're right, it would have been an issue at a couple spots!
