Careful with the pandoras they grow pretty fast, I would be sure to keep them isolated. That's a heck of a impressive zoa list you have. I would be happy to see pictures of then once they are settled in.

Finally feels like it, I've been taking it as opportunity to learn along the way so I've been intent on not rushing things.

So here is the latest update. Plumbing is done as of yesterday. I hard plumbed and glued the pvc for the drain/emergency drain. I used a nylon braided hose and plastic hose clamps from the return pump to a black plastic over the top return nozel purchased up from Amazon. I put the skimmer...

You can always just ask if anyone has extra frags for your entry, I honestly wouldn't want to see you frag up some of the nice stuff you literally just got. I'll also admit that for my first swap I just went to the $10 section at my lfs and just grabbed three nice looking ones before I knew that...

If It falls through, I have a extra peace of purple stylo if your intrested. @tribbitt

Very nice tank, pictures don't do it justice as it looks way better in person.

They are all different as are tank conditions. The Ones I've fragged typically only took a few days to extend polyps, hit me up in the future if yours doesn't eventually perk up. I still have some neon toadstool frags .

That's a amazing hammer.

Welcome to the club! You have a very nice tank. Hopefully we can meet you at the up coming frag swap next month. Details about it can be found on the main fourm page.

Understood, I never done anything to try to keep them alive, I just noticed the fish love hunting them. I feed them mainly as a treat of sorts nothing I do regularly.

I think it was $5 a bag AC last time i picked some up, I keep them for about 4 days, three times more than I could feed all of my tanks in 4 days from a single bag if I had to guess. 3 saltwater tanks and even added someone to 2 freshwater ones. I never researched what it would take to keep...

Thanks it's something that's on my future wish list lol, my wife wouldn't support that type of venture presently.

Noob question here, is that chart from a trident system or something similar? I'm assuming is not from any of the diy test kits since it's showing daily values.

I definitely shouldn't be your first choice as many are far more experienced than me. If you don’t manage to find anyone, I wouldn't mind checking on things for you. I know enough to spot potential problems/ make adjustments if needed. I'm located in santa clara probably about 7 miles from...
