Thoughts on coral placement

[jcbasile]

New reefer here (not new fish keeper). I setup my tank about a month and a half ago. Added a clownfish about a month in and the royal gramma a few days ago. Everything is going well. I know those may be a bit early but I am staying on top of tank maintenance. Question is, how does this look so far with coral placement?

The zoas are in the left lower area with a candy cane right above them. The other candy cane is in the bottom right coral (just testing out different placement). The duncan is in the front and has medium-lower level flow. Xenia is in the center with the same flow since I figured I couldn't mess that one up. On the back wall is some GSP. Thoughts?

I also started my tank about a month or two ago and have 2 clowns and a royal gramma. What light are you using and what tank.

Thats fine, all are lower light corals so that placement will work fine.

It's a jbj 45 gallon aio rimless and the light is an Ocean Revive Arctic t-247. My gramma isn't yet eating, any success with yours?

My Gramma found a nice cave and normally pokes his head out and comes out for food. I feed it frozen mysis

Make sure you have good places for the gramma to hide as the set up a home and stay near it or in it most of the time.

I have a Gramma in my 180, took a few days but then started eating pellets and frozen with no issues.

He has lots of hiding places and a good home, and also comes out a lot. He spends a lot of time towards doing what looks like posturing with his own reflection in the glass wall. He picks the pellets up and spits them out. I have been trying brine shrimp but I will switch to mysis.

My Gramma is always out. Only at night does he go inside of a rock and sleep. He's as out as my 2 clowns. Luckily he takes flakes as I have not gotten more than a couple different food. Frozen mysis, home made frozen, flakes, live brine
