I wanna ask whats the best positioning for my soon to be placed corals and some macroalgae
Tank setup:
*10G
*1 warty frog fish
*canister filter (mechanical, chemical, carbon)
*Water flow is variable so i can just change the current
*RO water already
I was planning to add:
*pulsing xenia/kenya tree will be placed behind rock to not over populate
*red/purple/ or any dark colored zoan
*and some macroalgae not sure what other type to add since i am still looking for red,pink,purple or dark colored type to match the rock and theme
Don't mind the middle rock in front i just did not take it out since my warty likes that rock and mostly stays on that rock that was from his old rock formation before deciding to add corals and adding bigger rocks

Xenia will grow faster than all of those corals, I suggest putting it alone on a rock. Zoas will adapt to anything between 50-200 PAR (at least in my tank they do). All of those corals are happy with relatively mild flow. Watch out with the canister filter and make sure you clean finer floss regularly to avoid nutrient spikes. Your tank is shallow so par should be pretty even everywhere, and you'll have to play with frags to see where they're happy with the flow

Thanks for the info and explanation! yeah in the 2nd image where you can see the top view there is spaces behind the bigger rocks i am planning to place a separate island for both xenia and kenya to not overpopulate the tank

Yeah that's a good idea, I have a Xenia island a few inches from the other rocks, it will grow outward and if it can touch a neighboring rock it will plant the edge onto it and spread. It's easy to trim though so you'll figure it out 🙃 have fun and good luck with the tank!
