I'm not sure... it seems kind of weird that it has'nt opened all day. Are your parameters alright? is there anything around it that that could be bugging it?

well first off i would just like to say congradulations on the beautiful tank! infact your tanks are what inspired me to get a nano in the first place. i just got my biocube 29 2 days ago. heres a pic: (i transfered everything out of my 58g, so there was no cycle incase you were worrying about the fish and inverts heh) my question to you though is what would you recomend as some starting corals for my tank, i do not plan on upgrading lighting anytime soon. and also when you get to a point where your corals are too big and need to frag them, what do you do? do you just pull off the polyps and try not to explode them or what? sorry, im new at starting a reef. sorry for the long post and keep up the good work

It looks like your off to a good start. I really like your rock work. There are a lot of different corals that your could start out with. Any kind of mushrooms, especially ricordea which is my favorite, green star polyps, clove polyps, candy canes, frogspawn, zoanthids (but since your lighting isn't too strong the really colorful ones may turn brown on you).
When it comes to fragging, it really depends on the type of coral your fragging. If you ever need to frag something, make a thread asking how, or you could always ask me and I'll be happy to help.

thanks alot! and are all the mushrooms compatable to live in the same tank/should there be a certain distance away or anything? sorry to be adding to all the questions that you get asked, and thanks for taking the time out of your day to answer mine and everyone else's on the board too!

You can put the mushrooms right next to each other. More aggressive corals like frogspawn should be kept away from other corals so it doesn't sting them
