Good morning...

Question: when we talk about "cups of coffee" what size are we talking here?

Anywhere from 14 to I think 20 oz depending on which cup I grab. I may have a slight coffee mug addition and when I see a pretty one or one I just like it is hard for me to resist them especially if they are handmade...

looks like a nice day to be outside...I see a cigar in my hand today...I think all the corals will be happy where I placed them. The only one I am on the fence about is the anacroporsa. I have it mid tank, on a flat rock surface and under the mid brace for the tank which is 3/4 inch acrylic. So my thought is it will cut down on light as they like med light 100-200 par. Time will tell...It is a super center piece I think for the tank...the color is amazing...If I have to move it i can

So I had a worry/ thought that I need help with I have had no flow in my tank since I set it up due to the bulkhead fitting being broken. I have had the heater in it so the water stayed warm what are the chances that I didn't lose my good bacteria since I had no flow?

Since I put in the lower flow it got a bit of color back and tentacles when back. It was nearly white on the part facing the light. It was 100s of tentacles. Thank you for your advice.

I've got my Anacropora frags sitting in anywhere from about 150 to 250+. The best growth seems to be in that 150-175 range on the Slimeball. My Green Goblin is in about 225 and doesn't do much other than be bright and some of my Slimeball frags are in that 250-275 and are paddling out rather than branching or growing taller.

I'd be surprised if you had a noticeable die off.

There's a possibility your water could have stagnated somewhat. Does it have a sulfur smell?

The best thing to do is just check for ammonia before you add any fish. If there's nitrates and no ammonia there's bacteria still.

pictures. I think I posted pictures of them a few days ago but not in their home...I will get some later today.. Tank lights just coming on @ 8am this time zone...Kessils come on at 8am, radions come on at 11am..

24K? I think the "golden" or orangish colored ones tend to like more shade, lower light. I keep my Klepto Lepto in almost full shade. 24K tend to prefer shaded areas or low rock structures - almost sandbed.

I think you will be fine, you could just drop in a power head to the tank bottom and let it push water around

2 main problems are I don't know my par as I don't have high end light I am assuming it is not too strong so I am tempted to put everything high and I never sure of the name of the coral I get based in the LFS.

Me it is expresso size , large is only for ice mocha.

Some die off perhaps.
@tbrown @1ocean good advice there.
Should be okay.
HOB power filter works good too.
Anything to make the water go.
Just make sure you test.
You've got bottled bac too will help.

I thought about that but if the water got pushed over intuí the over flow it would leak on the floor.

So far it just smells like saltwater.
