Should I put the birdsnest (aka Kevin) in the spot that's circled?
Depends on variety but I like th spot just to the right of the circle - tip of the next rock over.

I'm very happy to know that you tried the recipe and that you liked it my friend.
 
Stylocoeniella to be more precise.
Depends on the variety and location. Some encrust and spread pretty quick if conditions are right (Electric Daisy for example) while others are fairly slow growing (Burning Banana for example).

No clue on that one but based on similarly colored Stylos I'd say it's going to be a medium to fast grower if kept mid tank level with medium flow and medium light and decent nutrient levels.
 
That's where I would put it personally but that's just me.
I think that is a good spot as well it will give it a few more inches that it can grow up before being at the water line.
 
4 days since I last cleaned the glass! I’m about to do a
C18F7443-B09D-4484-BA47-C7F6E3EAA157.jpeg
water change and I’ll clean it first. I really don’t want to since I’m tired from cooking and, I don’t know if any of you know this, I had to clean up afterwards since I’m the only one home. I don’t know how anyone does this for a living (Joel ;) )!
 
Maybe I could make a chart with a full tank shot of where I'm thinking to put them all and you guys can make sure it will be ok and not look awful?
Good idea!

My wife actually said that last night to me!
Asked me how I do it it's so exhausting!
She was just making some hot cereal....
