(Previously posted in Reef Discussion but this area seemed more appropriate)
So i'm trying to figure out how to design the top level of my aquascape and want feedback to see if this is a good idea or not. The picture on the left should be my current tank design. The one on the right is a photoshopped version of what i want to do to the top level using Green Star Polyps and a Octospawn/frogspawn branching coral to create a grass like area w/ a tree popping out.
i've read a lot that GSPs can be very invasive and the only way to control their growth is putting them on an isolated rock on the sand and trimming it back when they get beyond the rock. That doesn't seem feasible in what i'm doing here so i'm wondering if its really a big issue.
otherwise the other option i guess is to make a GSP tree instead of a octospawn tree and maybe zoas all over the bottom instead??
Let me know what you guys think about this or if you have other ideas on what to do with this top level. Thanks!!
also don't mind the anemone in the top right corner. He's in time out for moving around all over the place and causing havoc. going to relocate him to another tank.
Please give me honest criticism or comments. Want to know if this is a good idea, bad idea or if there are better ideas out there. thanks
