What's the most exciting new thing coming tomorrow/Sunday?

I think we've never had this many crazy XL Bounce mushrooms before. But we got everything covered, zoas, acros, montis, asst LPS, anemones, shrooms, etc, a Very nice line up for sure!

I'd be down for the easiest possible SPS, e.g. stylos, birdnest... I got a monti digi in Sept, but it didn't do well in my tank. Any ideas?

Those are probably the best bet - stylos, pocclis, digis, monti caps, probably the hardiest SPS available

Have you ever checked your par ?
10 gallon tank, hitting around 200-230 on the rocks at peak Saxby schedule (modified to AB+ spectrum). 150-180 on the sand. That was peaking at ~77% for UV/Violet, ~62% Royal blue/blue. I've since bumped it up to 86%/69% at peaks. That means it's running at 67%/56% in the troughs. 6 peaks and troughs during the day on Saxby schedule.

So, top of the rocks probably ranging upper 100s to mid-200s during daytime.

EDIT: AI Prime 16HD. There are some shadier spots, too that get lower par, around 100. Dendro is going in one of those spots.

In my experience birdsnest is the best to start with and I had to really focus on staying around 200 pretty consistent, and the parameters have to be pretty dang stable. I had to up my entire maintenance routine to be able to successfully keep even the easiest sps

Is this a pocci? Or seriatiopora?

Anything you can do on that one up there?

I've heard nasty stories about pocciliopora taking over tanks.
