Question
I have a 150 gallon saltwater aquarium with a queen angelfish,maculosus angel harlequin tusk fish and a clown trigger and i wanted to know should i place my l've rock in the middle of the tank or should i place it to where there are caves and crevices since these are gonna be large fish should i leave room for open swimming so therefore just align the rock on the bottom and leave the top for a swimming area also i have a lion fish which way do yo u think will be better for these fish

Answer
Hello Alaica, (beautiful name btw)

I dont really think there is a way to say/suggest a better rocl placement for these fish.

You pretty much figured out the 'pro/con of either way of placing them.

I certainly wouldnt profess one as being better then other, so I think you are on your own and to try one way for a while, and if you see any negative affect or issues, then to change it to the other way.


Sorry I could not answer this for you, an dgood luck which ever way you try.  Please let me know what you end up doing,


Bill
