First corals

[CourtNjoeZreef]

I have a bird's nest Coral that I placed at the top of my wreath that I feel isn't a good spot it's got a lot of flow but I'm not sure with the light exactly how much it's going to get or if it's getting too much a portion of it looks white but it's only been in here for less than a week so I don't think it's bleaching out however it might be... ?!?!?!?????

Green birds nest, low to mid light
Pink mid to hi
Too much flow will cause my green polyps to retreat.

I'll re-adjust the power heads and see how it goes. Maybe move it to a lower location in the tank.

The highest point Coral in this tank is my bird's nest that is on top of the little peak and it is approximately 12 in from the light the tank overall is 23 in deep and the light is about seven or eight inches above the water it's a Red Sea 50 with their mounting bracket.

The bird's nest doesn't seem to be brightening up at all and the whammin watermelon zoa isn't popping. As of yet.

Any advice would be great.

Dosing tropic marin all for reef and supplement with brs soda ash for alk and their calcium when just one is low.
