Shallow Scape Feedback

[RedOtterCoral]

Hey all!

Getting back into the hobby after a several years. Got this 48x24x12 shallow that I'd like to run as a mixed sps/LPS.

The main flow will be coming from the left side, and with it being so shallow I wanted the scape to be equally as appealing on the top down view.

Would love any feedback!

Think it looks pretty darn good. Good spacing for flow as well.

Thanks!! I really wanted to be sure that flow wouldn't be an issue with this build.

Any idea of what you're gonna put in? Doing LPS, sps, zoa, clams??

 

[RedOtterCoral]

Definitely a mix of LPS and sps. Leaning towards euphyllia and gonis for the LPS, acros for sps if everything goes according to plan.

I like it. Big fan of frogs torchs hammers, and gonis. They have some pretty colors and flow with thr current beautifully. There's a local.guy around here (ohio area) who sold some new york Knicks, dragon soul, gold with blue tips, beautiful gold hammer with random pinks blues and some rainbow sheen. All cheap. I bought 4 frags from him for 200 bucks all with 2+ heads.

It's been a minute since I bought coral but looking at today's prices seems you got a pretty darn good deal!

Gotta do the standard clown pair, I plan on at least a few wrasse (would like one of the fairies) a small tang and a midas blenny. Lfs near me had one with an awesome personality back in the day

I love blennies!

Careful with wrasse in a shallow tank theybwill jump. Have some kind of top for the tank. I love wrasse. Leapords are pretty and cheap, black leopards are amazing, Naoko wrasse are absolutely stunning

If you're looking for torches it's the best deal I found and like I said, he's on this forum under mantis reef.

That's how I lost one on the previous build I had years ago. Already got the materials for for lid!

I never thought I'd get into clams, but this past weekend at the lfs my wife spied one she really liked. So sounds like I might end up with one lol
