Good within range if low or elevated as long as it’s a slow transition corals seem to adapt. I like to keep mine detectable.

I tried target feeding but enjoy broadcasting feding more. Looking at fish Inverts and some coral reaction seems more natural.

Sometimes, yes.
I feed anything and everything... Reef Plus, Reef Candy, Coral Cane, Reef Roids, Reef Jerky, Coral Fusion, and frozen all mixed together with some Garlic Extreme.
I usually mix the stuff all together and dump it in the tank with the return pump off and let it swirl around for 15-20 minutes (or however long it takes me to remember to turn it back on).

DAILY QUESTION: How do you handle coral placement in your tank for optimal growth?
I mix animos in my frozen mix and dose mb7 when I snow the tank every Saturday. Otherwise not really.
They typically live on the rack till I get a new box. Then go wherever I think the would do well. I'm usually wrong.

I gently toss them somewhere and watch for a couple of days to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to and move them if not.
Usually I try to do a little research on the specific coral and try to mimic placement based on that. I look at flow and lighting to help with determining that.

Ok, so Dino update: I've been dosing MB7 for just at 2 weeks (got a new bottle yesterday), I've been running UV in th DT for about the same amount of time, and I've had the filter floss hanging in the tank to help "collect" the Dinos. Yesterday, there was very little Dinos on the filter floss...

I try to place it where I think it's requirements are (light and flow) and will move it if it isn't looking happy

Place the acros high and far apart from each other. Three years ago I place them too close (6") to each other.
Par meter and mostly guesswork!

Corals are placed in the correct flow and lighting.
DAILY QUESTION: How do you handle coral placement in your tank for optimal growth?
I'll probably be getting a PAR meter to first figure out my readings. Then I'll place the corals on their needs and move them around if they are not happy.

I thought I would get the plumbing all done this week, but I was wrong. I think the plumbing must be the most difficult part so far. The plumbing itself is not what I had planned out to be because as I dry fitted the pipes, it's not as what I visualized to fit into the stand. I got the...
