3rd day!!! SUCCESS!!! he finaly hosted it, within 48 hours.. awsome!!

its going to depend on your tank. Size, lighting, age, fish... My first coral was a green star polyp, and its doing great. Grew very fast. Shrooms are also very forgiving. Anemone's need good water quality and strong lighting. Hope this helps! *JD

awsome ... great to hear!!! thanks for the HOPE :yes:

I purchased a Hatian Pink Tip Anemone, and I have one clarkii clownfish. The anemone has been in the tank about 16 hours now and my clown has not really gone in it. He will swim by it and check it out, but not go in. When he swims close to it he swims sort of sideways like he wants to host it. I...

pointy light sabers????

nitrate today was under 10... which is good from my understanding, given the age of the tank. The reason I bought lights so early is because I got a good deal on them. Anyways I now have 10 crabs, and 5 snails total. should this suffice?

There you have it. =) thanks for the clarification tizzo.

Going to get my clean up crew after I get out of work. I get out of work at 5, home by 5:30, to the fish store by 6:30, leave there by midnight (they seriously are soo slow there), leave there by 7:30, get home in time for the PISTONS GAME!!! Hope this takes care of my problem. I am thinking im...

You are in no danger. Things can settle at a pretty fast rate after they spike. Mine took a long time to spike, then droped much faster then it raised.

adding water could prolong your cycle. Im no expert, maybe someone more knowledgable than myself can help you ---- Yes i noticed that it was to start your cycle after I posted.. I have since edited my original post... Sorry bout that

Things will settle. Some tanks cycle longer than others. Just give it time

they hypo seems to be working. So i'll consider that if I get another bad outbreak. Thanks!

I sure will get some soon. Pretty empty right now. Some green shrooms, and some green star polyps. 1 Clarkii, 1 Cleaner. All very healthy, The clarkii had ich. I just moved him back into the display tank today. Did a hypo for just over a month in a seperate tank with him. So that is kind of why...

It is diatoms, and some green algea. The tank is only 2 months. BTW WhoDey.... Your tank is absolutly beautifull. Makes me confidant in your advice. Thanks for all your input! How old is your tank?
