Default I'm Obsessed!

Finally got the 24g Aquapod yesterday from the LFS (already built) and wanted to get some pictures out there ASAP! Not sure what the Brain is called but the guy at the LFS said it was more rare than the others they had and was easy for the beginner. Anyway, let me know what you think about placement and depth of the coral.

Hello and welcome to 3reef!
The button/cat's eye coral you are referring to is called Cynarina! It is a fairly hardy coral which will live and die based on your water condition...as they are good bio-indicators of water quality!
I don't see any problems with how you have your corals placed...lighting, water quality and water flow are essential to the success or lack thereof of your corals IMO!
Best of luck and welcome aboard a truly entertaining, informative, and enjoyable underwater/reef site!

Nice, you are off to a great start! --- we are all "obsessed" here, to put it mildly. Severly addicted would be closer to the truth!

Good luck with your new system!
