Good luck with that man. Every time I say that to myself, I cannot go more than a day or two before I change my mind and find at least a couple more spots I can add something. Link to comment
MrNanoReef Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ninjamyst...You have a beautiful tank and amazing photography skill. Hoping to get some nice shots of my own tank later on. I love the scape and placement of your corals and selection. I might borrow some of your ideas Link to comment

MrNanoReef Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 thanks! will check out your build thread! thanks...I'm having some trouble choosing soft/LPS corals that fits my tank scape, do you have any suggestions for soft corals for high water flow area? Here is a shot of my tank to give you an idea. I recently replaced both Koralia powerheads with one Jebao WP-10 wavemaker and it is mounted on the right corner. Link to comment

How high is high? I killed a torch before by blasting it with too much flow...so if it's really high, then torch will not be good. You can also try zoas / palys since they are hardy and can take all sort of flow. Acans, favias, and even plates can take more flow than torch / hammer / frogspawns. Link to comment

Acans, favias, and even plates can take more flow than torch / hammer / frogspawns. Too high for most soft corals I'd say, 4-5" in front of the wp10, I want something to covered the top of the rock (right side) but low profile since I only have about 4" clearance. I can't move the wp10 any other way since my tank is very narrow about 8" wide, I understand torch/frogspawn/hammer required low flow so they'll be on the far left end of the tank. How do your rics handle high flow? Link to comment

How do your rics handle high flow? rics not good in high flow. i think zoas are your best bet. get some really fast spreading colorful zoa like bam bams or radioactive dragons. they will look great.

ninjamyst Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 so my clown fish decided to host a new "fathead" torch I got from a local reefer. Unlike the other torches I had, this one has really fat tentacles with fat tips. It's pretty awesome =). also, i counted 40 different types of zoas in my tank now. the zoa branch is pretty much filled. no more corals for this tank! Link to comment
