How's your tank doing so far?
So far pretty good. Fishes are all doing great but still trying to figure out coral placements. My first zoa was doing great, I thought so anyway but now that I looked back it was probably too little lighting. Looked like a good cluster but the stalks were skinny. Moved it up a little to a frag holder but I recently got new corals in so lowered the lights for them to acclimate so it made the matter worse maybe? Idk cranking up my lights slowly now. GSP on back wall is good, once I got a piece to stay anyway. I think my biggest fear is melting a coral but I think that’s harder than I thought since I don’t think my light is that powerful. My original mushroom is good. Got a Yuma and a Galaxea which I think both are good. Got a BTA which stayed in the original spot I put it in, I think it’s doing good.

I would advise against lowering lights to acclimate. Why put all your corals through that just to accommodate a few new corals? Instead, just utilize the lower light areas of your tank to acclimate the new guys instead of forcing it on your entire tank.
