Easy corals, the Cyphastrea is low light med flow and Montipora can handle more intense light and flow. Hope that helps..

Alright guys. So I got the corals home and I attached some pictures to show where I placed them based off of the advice I received on the thread. Please let me know what you think. The white lines point to where they are in the tank. The other pics are just some close up ones.
Thanks **fingers crossed**

Nopox must be dosing everyday as nitrate high...
