Thanks for feedback! Everyone is so great on this board. I wish all forums were this kind and open to newbies
I probably shoulded have added a couple of other facts.
1) My service added a few "jump start" products to I think speed up the cycle. I know he added bacteria direct along with the Live Rock and the live sand.
2) The missing yellow tail obviously died after the first few hours and was never removed from the tank. I asked my service and he said that was a good thing.
3) He is bring additional live rock with the corals and has made it abundantly clear that no additional life, be it fish or coral, will be added to the tank until he has tested the water and found it to be ready.
4) Don't know if this is a sign of anything, but my protein skimmer is going nuts. I posted about it by itself, but I have been cleaning it everyday. I assume this is a sign that there is a lot of stuff going on the tank. (I know I sound like an idiot but I am trying)
About the damsels.
The 5 blue ones are REALLY aggressive. I am going to ask the guy to pull all of those. The white, the black and white stripe, the yellow tail, and the 3 spot damsels are all really nice and calm. The big blues mess with pretty much all of them.
Which fish or corals would be the next logical step if the tank has cycled and ready?
And I will definitely be learning about testing this weekend and will get the best kit I can get my hands on. I hate blindly believing anyone, even though all has gone on without a hitch so far.
Thanks again everyone.
