How Does This Look For Coral Selection/placement?

[Truck]

from left to right

star polyps, leather, sun coral, xenia, leather finger, ricordea, zoa garden, euphyllia area (below zoas about 4-5 inches away), mushies.

how does this sounds for 56 watts of T5 with a depth of 16 inches? i would in the future be adding 2 TMC aquarays

any suggestions to fit the gaps? i may put a black sun coral next to the yellow

Looks fine. Curious to see where your mushrooms end up after 6-12 months, they'll move

Just be wary about which euphyllia you stick together, as in the picture there is a torch and a hammer, and correct me if i'm wrong but i think the torch will attack the hammer.
you can however stick hammer and frogspawn together.

i come bearing pictures of the tank


the beast:

im running 2*28 watt linear T5's (9000K and 4100K giving a nice white colour...i will be adding actinic's in the future along with a 10 K bulb)

this is My DIY phosphate remover. water is pumped up by a small juwel power head and is filtered through rowaphos (not sure whether it will work)

and the power head (one of the two)

i will be switching to tunzes in the near future on a controller like bigC's
and i will employ a bigger skimmer (the one i have at the moment is the one that comes with the orca tl550)

i have put sand in already as i wont be adding salt to the RO water in the tank. it will be premixed in a but.

and for good measure
