    Hey all would like everyone's input.

    This is my 75 gal - 6 months old yesterday.

    Let me know if the placements of the corals are ok.

    FYI the favia and xania came on the same rock.

    If a coral doesn't like its placement, you can tell. Too high, it'll bleach. Too low, it'll brown out. Too much flow, it'll stay retracted. Too little flow, it'll overextend.

    In other words, it's really something to judge for yourself, based on your individual corals. Some favia are different than others, and require more or less light, and more or less flow.

    The best example of that is a chalice I have. I have two of the same species. One is a red chalice, placed up with my acroporas. High-ish flow, high light. I have another down on the sandbed. Low flow, low light. Same species, totally different requirements because of the environments they're been kept in over time.

    So, really, nobody can judge it but you, because there's far more to it than a picture can explain.

    Thanks Raven - yea you are right - but I just wanted to know if there were any big issues - on the favia it only opens at night - the brain opens 90% at night too.
