Officially placed some new corals into the 75g set up today! The existing mushrooms look great so thought it was time to expand. Stopped by our local aquatics shop in Madison AL Aquatic Cove and picked up some cool frags. Grabbed a Duncan and a few different Favia. Any advice is appreciated especially in terms of placement locations!

Duncans like a gently to moderate flow with moderate light. The mushroom can be placed wherever there is low to mediu flow and typically in a mid to lower light area. Duncans are absolute monsters when it comes to eating. They grow VERY fast when fed. Obviously you probably won't drain alk and calcium very fast with just that frag but its a good habit to get a feel of how much your tank drains a day whenever you add a stony coral.
