Hi my name is Alyssa new here but have been learning a lot about saltwater tanks the past 6 months my wife got me hooked on this hobby. We have a Red Sea 175 gallon tank, a 4 gallon nano tank, I just got a 55 gallon also She is going to try to sell the 175gal once the 200 gallon tank is complete .We are currently looking at rockscape ideas for the 200gal it is the biggest we have had to work with so far and also looking for lighting placement advice since we cannot do the lights from ceiling. We would love to hear any advice/tips you guys may have that could help us:) even rockscape ideas etc.
This is the 200 gal we bought used we went ahead and had it resealed but this will be permanent placement!

Welcome. You could create a shelf that is recessed to hide the lights. You will want add legs/beam, metal or wood, to attach to wall and shelf. This will give it support and prevent tearing up or pulling from drt wall. You then can have the beam also be long enough to run above to attach chain or rope or use wood, to anchor far end back to wall for more support.

Another way could just be a nice beam that goes across and runs to floor on both sides. There is lots of ideas.
