Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I wasn’t going to post my new corals I got today because I didn’t want you all to feel that your new corals are inadequate but here they are. Still acclimating but the color pop, wow, just wow!

They are amazing Kevin
 
I think you responded to the wrong post?

Mine is as well! She's super active and so pretty!

Will it be less stressful for you?
Most likely less stress. Not having to deal with disciplinary issues will be nice. Also moving from "hospital level of care" to "secure residential treatment facility" which means the patients are more stable. I'll probably get floated back once in a while to cover gaps, but still overall should be less stress.
 
I have two spots I'm thinking about putting the acans would it be better to put them on rock 1 or rock 2. On one they would be more flat on rock two they would be stuck to the side. These are bother lower light and lower flow areas.

Ya both options look good so I'll agree with Kevin.

Thank you!!! How far should I space them out so they have room to grow? As much as I can?

A couple inches, they should be fine together and you could always move them later if you needed to.

Haha, Kevin! I am so glad that you posted this pic of your beautiful corals. I was looking for it in my picture album but couldn't find it. I wanted to ask you to show us a picture of it in your new tank!!
