I dont mean for my post to be harsh, but you obviously have started some research, but have jumped in too quick (not too late for correction)

You just need to finish your research and learning to get going successfully

I cant find the types XD ((((((((((((((((((((((((

nvm, they are all tenuis acro's!

I don't see why this is hard, just get the parameters kinda stable from what I'm reading, good flow, and good lighting, at least my rock nearly juts out of my tank (XD, my parameters have not swinged at all, so... a month into this tank, this seems fine...............................)

People tend to overcomplixate things. The hard part isn't attaining certain parameters, it's maintaining them with extreme consistency. This means strict routines and good habits and sticking to it.

One of your earlier posts is almost there. You mentioned acros, a montipora, rockflower nem, and goniopora.

You can use these videos as a starting point. Where did you buy them from? Local LFS or online vendor? If online they should have more info if you ask.

Part of the consistency in parameters comes from age of the tank as well as your persistence in the maintenance program, this includes testing testing testing.

As you mentioned earlier you don't have alk or calcium tests. You absolutely need to monitor the parameters mentioned by @vetteguy53081 and myself earlier in this thread for consistency.

Also, parameters never stay the same. Think of testing like a quick snapshot in time. Parameters like pH and alkalinity swing naturally throughout the day, temperature can swing based on the controls for your heater, etc. So it's good to pick a specific time and specific day(s) for testing and, at minimum, test at those times

Great vendor for corals. Shane's got some really well priced corals that look great. Plus his sales and auctions are usually a fun activity if you like that interactive element haha
