OK so i still have to cyce. I'll keep testing and i won't add any coral til the cycle has run it's course. One more ?, I want to add 2 more pieces of LR from my 55 but both have corals so i'm waiting til the cycle is done. But if i add the rocks after the cycle will they cause another cycle and kill the corals?? thanks for all your help!

Wait till cycle is 100% So long as you keep their exposure to air to an absolute min it should be ok BUT watch the levels still.

well hurry up there with the pics! haha jk but i cant wait to see them. now u have me thinkig. i was gonna eventually set up a 2 gallon that is just a rectangle w/out hood ect. but now i want either a 2 or 5 gallon hex with a hood i believe. it'd be nice having a tiny coral tank with like 6 watts per gallon sitting by bed!
ps: right now i have a 12 gallon aquapod....the 2 gallon would prolly b a frag tank.

Your never gonna believe this, but now that i have corals in there my camera isn't working!!
Anyway, everthing i added is doing good. Today i came up with yet another free DIY piece of equiptment. I was getting tired of adding 1/3 of a cup of RO water daily so i made a DIY auto top off. It's just a glass full of RO water sitting on a small upturned plastic bucket behind the tank with a piece of airline tubing that has 3 knots as a sphion.(basically, a tiny ultra slow drip acclimation) The unit adds on drip per 45 seconds. I'll probably still add water manualy but i wanted to start slow so i dont make it overflow. Hopefully i'll eventually get it so i can just keep refilling the "reservoir"
I'll post PICS when i get some...
