Im still deciding on rock work, i may go with my original idea but now i thinking i could go with a drop off like this.
Obviouly i cant swim in this tank but with the drop off its just like a big block of LR and you swim over and there is about a 5ft drop with corals literally covering the wall. Ill see what you all think

if you do the drop off try and angle it out towards the bottom so lower corals get some light also but its a great idea.

Ive decided not to go with the drop off now because of lighting on the corals. Im also not going with an anemone because i want this to be a coral only tank but i may get a BTA or something for the two clarkiis and now thats if i even get them because i may swap them with some other type of fish. I think the rockwork will completely change from what i had in mind but only time will tell.

But im not a big fan of rock walls, sure it looks great in the Red Sea but in a tank? and mines only a 55g so it wouldnt be a very big one and i want loads of little holes and crevices for the fish to swim in and out of. Plus like mentioned the lighting could be an issue with that. Things are probably going to change with the rockwork but ill have to wait until i get the rock.
