Luis I know the thought of moving all that 32 gallon to that 90 gallon is scary but you got it and we're here for you.
I'd be there in a heartbeat to help if I could you know that!
Was thinking about you stressing all day so I thought I'd send you some good vibes!
 
Alright, so I just got back... sorry for not updating yall. Luckily, they were nice and didn't charge us another $209 for the walk-in fee. They made her throw up a bunch to make sure it wasn't in her stomach. Nothing came out, so they concluded she either does not have one or its in her intestines, which we should wait til it comes out the other end. We didn't do an x-ray, which saved $300+.

My heart goes out to you and the pups!

It's really stressful hahaha and more so because I don't know what or how to do the rest of the aquascape. I know that you all will be there for anything, I have no doubt about that.

this is why my rockscapes always become piles of rocks.... start with good intentions but am always fighting the clock.
 
Yikes I just can't catch a break. Tomorrow's going to be busy but after that its 2 days of rest. Good night folks

Acans at the bottom of the tank - sandbed or close to it. Acans can touch each other. They can also handle shade.

Torches - good flow but not blasting (although most can handle being blasted), medium light so middle of the tank is best. Give 4"+ around them because of sweepers. Torches can touch each other usually.

Pectinia need room. They have long sweepers and will kill. I don't know much about them beyond that but I'm pretty sure they're low to medium light, medium flow.

Gonis like medium flow or better, medium light is best. They can be aggressive. Most can touch each other, will fight with others.

Acros need LOTS of light and very high flow. They need highish alkalinity but require phosphates or they'll RTN from the tips.

Plate coral needs to be on the sand bed. I believe they can walk so be careful.

Encruster is likely a Favia. They like high to low flow and high to low light. Which encruster? Get me a picture?
 
And frogspawn, same as torch but CANNOT touch the torch.
