coral placement and flow

[messina06]

do most of you glue the corals to the area in the tank in which you would like them to stay?

The reason I ask is b/c I plan on adding another powerhead (hydor 3 or 4) to the left side of my tank. I currently have a hydor 4 on the right and a mag 1200 return.

I plan on having plenty of flow towards the top of my LR and not as much down towards the sand. I can already imagine when adding another powerhead that when I begin purchaseing SPS it will be difficult to have them stay in their place.

Here is a link to pics of my tank.

look forward to your thoughts.

People use a variety of approaches. Gluing your corals to the rock is fine if you're sure about the aquascaping.

I like gluing my corals to a piece of rubble. That way I can move it in the future if I should need to. Makes it easy if the coral needs to be fragged too.

i as well glue mine to a smaller rock or plug. then epoxy the rock or plug to the aquascaping. as mentioned makes things eaisier to move if needed.
