Re: Coral Nippers Is is completely normal for the fish/shrimp to nip at the new coral?

First Coral Is it completely normal for the fish/peppermint shrimp to nip at the new coral? Because thats what I'm getting now.

I say that to my "wife" all the time hahaha. I have been in there MANY times since I have started the hobby. I mean its the same routine every time. I go in and I walk around and walk around, noone ever goes out of their way to help. Their selection is amazing and the tanks are breathtaking...

Hahaha, I guess I could give them up occasionally ;) Anyways, it is yet to be seen how he is going to behave being out on a steady basis. I mean he was out a few times today but "darted" right back into his hiding spot as soon as I turned around to look. If I measure the tank I'm pretty sure we...

Yeah I did find him this morning ;D So anyway I set my lighting schedule to Wendy's. She's such a big part in what I do, her and James have really helped me so much! So here it is 9 am- Blues ON 10:30 am - Daylights ON 6:30 pm- Daylights OFF 9 pm- Blues OFF

True true. I had to do my water change today and my nitrates have been about 20 ppm for awhile so I did a 5 gallon change instead of 3.5. Not to much more but maybe it will hopefully stop my algae growth. Did you see my question in G.D.?

Just wondering... I am have the Sundial T-5'S 2 White/2 Blue Moon Lights. I have the whites come on at 12 and they turn off at about 5. Then I have the Moon lights come on at 6 and turn off at 10. Is this a good cycle? No corals yet, just the Toadstool that I'll be getting tomorrow! So any...

Would it be alright if I did a water change today or would it shock him to much?

Wouldn't even come out for food though. I have a lot of openings in the rock so he must've picked a reallyyy good hiding spot because I can't find him at all.

Have NO idea where he is, I just feed them to see if he'd maybe pop out and there is absolutely no sign of him. I really would like my Nitrates NOT to spike because of a dead fish!

Funny thing is...I can't find him this morning James ???

Nice aqua scaping man. It wonders me how you got the pile on the right to stand lol. You've got a lot of nice stacks that will be perfect for corals. Hows your water quality?

I'll be getting it Saturday evening. And I will DEF be posting pics. Can not wait guys!

Firefish :) Got me a firefish today up at Trop. I couldn't resist it. I got a little bit more of rock as well. Just like 3 smaller pieces just to fill in spots. So anyway the fish is doing good so far. He should be alright with the two clowns, damsel, and Six-line. Noone has really made moves...

Candi has confirmed that I will pretty much buy her last leather coral :) Cant wait for my first coral!

Yeah I never thought of that. I just have them on opposite sides of the tank. One aimed towards the top and one towards the middle. I have contacted candi through PM, email, and posted on the board shes selling on. I want to make sure I get that coral.

Doing some research here and finding that the Toadstool leather sounds good so far. I found that alot of reefers have trouble with polyps. Mainly because of how quickly they spread. I also found that I like the Button Polyps, they seem to not need to much. I have 2 Korolla Powerheads so I should...

Ok sounds good to me James. I am going to research the beginner corals and see what would fit me best.

Sounds good, you said inverts/corals? I def. want just maybe 2 frags of softies. I could really use some more turbo snails as well. I just don't know where to look at what I can buy and where to submit it lol I've never done a group buy!

Yeah maybe I think I can put some easier beginner corals in there. I mean I think I've been patient enough. JR I can get the iverts/corals on here? And if so could you tell me where I can buy them on here lol. Thanks for the great comments from both JR and Wendy, Really appreciate the support :)
