Newbie Aquascape help / feedback

Xytrax · Feb 2, 2022

Hello reefers!

Newbie requesting some guidance with aquascaping.

Im setting up my first 150l (40g) tank and bought 20kg (44 pounds) of live rock. I have been shifting the rocks around, but something still feels off.

This is the current state:

Got some interesting hitchhiker too. Bubble-tip anemone?

Zoanthus?

Possible green star polyp?

And sorry for the messy glass.. Thanks

The aquascaping isn't too bad. I'd focus on the right side if you're looking to change things up.

Looks like a BTA and zoas, yes. Not GSP - looks more like some type of algae.

Hey thanks for your answer. I will work on the right side today.

There is some hair algae for sure, but i was talking about this one. Seems to be opening up now.

Oh yes, that's GSP.

Did some work on the right side and moved all the rocks to little bit right. I like it better now, but don't know whether there is enough sloped surfaces for corals to attach now. What do you think?
