Im starting this thread for my Lagoon Style euphyllia type tank

The Plan is euphyllias and meats for now.
Torches in the mid section hammers and Frogs/Octos behind the torches and raised a bit higher
Meats in the foreground

Here is a drawing of what I’m thinking.
(It’s a rough blue print)


I plan on keeping this thread up to date.
My next step is to take a hammer to the large pieces of rock I have now and see what shapes and sizes I can get from that and start sketching up some ideas to show you all

Feel free to share any thoughts with me along the way
Thanks all

Thank you! I did have someone reach out and told me to consider switching the hammers/frogs/octos with the torches since they seem to be more aggressive. I am considering it too

If you space them out you shouldn't run into to many issues but In my head that seems like a hard flow to master at the top with torches.

Now this will be interesting. I will definitely tune in!

I guess it all depends on how you will direct the flow and how long of tentacles they have.

How bog of a tank are you thinking ?

I cant wait to see the final results :LOL:

Is there any logic to breaking up the live rock I have? Like should I be trying to get certain shapes out of it or just take a hammer to it and see what I get? Lol

Hey guys long time no update so here it goes.
I had to to do an emergency rescape because my dwarf fuzzy came in a lot sooner than expected.

I will share a picture here shortly.

I plan on removing all the corals and showing you guys what the hardscape is looking like currently as well as a list of corals I have.

I wanted to ask if you guys can make placement suggestions for me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Update
Worked on my tank a bit yesterday and today
This is what I’ve come up with so far and I think it has some potential.
Any suggestions to the hardscape?
Coral placement suggestions?
Hammers/Torches/Meats is my theme but if you think other corals would look good in a certain spot I’m open to suggestions

scape looks pretty cool tbh, maybe a bit high but i think it makes the tank look bigger than it is. i thought you had the IM 100g for a minute

Yea lol I realized I went almost as high as the scape before but I feel like this hardscape compliments what I’m trying to do better. I’m already playing with placement (not glued yet) but I think I found a direction to go in
