Hey everyone! Just an idea thread. New tank is in the first week of running and still cycling, looking for ideas of corals, placement and fish to add. It's a Red Sea Max-E 260, display volume is around 56gal, and I'm running two AI 26HDs. I didn't put too many areas of low light to start with in my aquascape but I left some room on the right to build a nice shelf area. Any and all ideas welcome!!

Welcome!!!! Check out Liveaquaria.com for ideas on corals and placement. Also a great source for fish.

What fish and corals do you like?
 
I'm pretty much open to anything! I've had Acans, Hammers, Frogspawn, Montis, alot of SPS, etc. I've been wracking my brain for the last 3 weeks on how I want this to look and I cant really settle on anything or placement.
 
Just go with it every coral and fish add something new start with what you like the look of at a trusted LFS every system is different add can change dramatically with the addition of that one special show piece
One thing I would suggest is to be mindful of species that can plague your tank like Xenia and star polyp they are beautiful but try and keep the off your main structure i have my star polyp on the back wall and it has heaps of room to spread without annoying all my other beauties good luck Il be following along
