New corals and placement of older corals

Hi everyone

I just found the folder ans thought I would post here. I am new to the group and reefing.

As recommended by the group I went to Neptune Aquatic. Wow!!! Amazing plus the selection of smaller affordable frags was amazing. BTW they said there is no more 10% off for BAR.

Anyhow, this down I wrote the names of everything I got. . .
Platygyra
Hollywood Stunner
Gonipora
Zoanthid
Firework clover
1 New small rock

I placed everyone per what I read online. I dont have a way to measure PAR (waiting for my 2 month anniversary to use the meter) so took my best guess and took my best guess with flow as well. Any tips on how to identify low, moderate, high flows in my tank would be appreciated.

I also glued down my pipe organ and my zoanthid that I had already.

Anyhow I have attached a photos. I couldn'tfigure out how to post a video. Any feedback on placement and tips on helping with care and maintenance is welcomed. Notice I placed the hollywood stunner and the platygyra in the middle because I was reading that the could be aggressive and I thought this would keep everyone safe. Also, does it mean anything when a zoanthid looks like an umbrella?

Thanks

Careful with your placement of zoas. The one's on the bottom seem ok? (Rock looks like it's an island and not touching the main rockwork? If it is touching just pull it forward a tad so it doesn't touch the rest) But the other zoas half way up will eventually spread all over that rock and any rock it's touching.

Wait, @robert4025 got rid of the bar 10% livestock discount?

The official BAR discount was actually gone long ago when I withdrew my sponsorship due to some long standing issues that was never addressed. The same reasons AC pulled their sponsorship as well. I am sure the original thread about this discussion is still around somewhere if really want to know.

Whatever “BAR Discount” my current customers has been getting has been more of a courtesy thing and not something that was entitled or agreed upon when the sponsorship relationship was still intact. That’s why some of my staff do it, some don’t. The newer staff may not.
