Looking for suggestions for my Nuvo 40

[00Dan]

I recent set up a Nuvo 40 and am looking for some suggestions for my aquascape. I have a base rock scape I’m somewhat happy with right now but I also have a fair amount of branch rock I’m not sure what to do with. Most of my base rock is glued together with superglue so it’s holding fairly well as stacked. Some of the branch rock is epoxied together to form a large branch (this was done by the previous owner of the tank). Any suggestions are welcome.

I'd take the rock out of the tank, cut a piece of cardboard the same size as your tank base and play around with different configurations until you are happy.

Also think about the type of coral you are putting in this tank, that will help in rock configuration. Don't forget about water flow too.

Flow and coral type are admittedly something I'm still figuring out. For say softies and LPS, is there anything about my current scape that would be non-ideal for them?

For LPS and softy, I think you should be good. If you go with any kind of torches or bubble tips, I'd recommend isolating them from the rest.

I broke up the assembled branches and added them to the tank. The goal was to create a network of sorts connecting the existing rock structures. I had some small pieces leftover from breaking it up that I just stuck in the substrate; the breaks looked roughly clean enough to be a good frag platform. Feedback welcome.
