So here's a map of what I'm thinking with the help of @tbrown who helped me with placing what corals I already have (the ones in white) as well as giving me some suggestions for future corals (the ones in teal) then the other future ones I am thinking (in yellow)

Looks fantastic Amanda! I swear you picked my coral stocking list (no cabbage or dyncan or stylo yet. Anacropora are amazing corals and the montis come in every shape and growth pattern you can imagine. If you need help sourcing any of these corals, let me know. Get busy peanut! We're excited for this!

Amanda, I’m not trying to brag or show off but just showing you how to have a stunning looking tank like mine. Notice the coral variety, placement based on color and how they are grouped together, not willy nilly. You to could have a tank that looks exactly like the one in this picture. I hope it helps. Remember, this just didn’t happen, it has taken almost three and a half years ;) .

I have no specific source but would like to be able to get them all from the same place to save on shipping which can be a challenge. Lol

I have no idea. I don't follow recipes. Thats why I suck at baking and it took me 2 years to get the hang of sourdough.
I cook by taste, not measuring lol

The pulled pork I made about a month ago and froze the leftovers.
It cooked about 12+ hrs.
This I started last night, last additions this morning.

True but sometimes you can find much better deals and guarantees on the corals themselves that'll save you money in the long run.

Oh most definitely! Lol I wouldn't put a disco in my tank for any amount of money. They picked the right genre of music to name them after

How do I fix this? I have the valve closed all the way already but it's still too much.

Open it some. I think closed makes it overflow.
