Yes he went right in 1st fish and just some LR in there. So i didn't quarantine him.
The price on the fish was not bad. Just send me a Pm please.
I do have a question. I want to add low end corals to this tank(such as Zoos and
such). I have never done corals before. What additives do i need along with testing
materials. I would like to get a decent amount of growth. Any help would be great.
I have a few very nice LFS locally that stock really nice premium ORA corals
along with just your basic frags and such.
Thanks
Eric

What additives do i need no additives needed, just use good quality reef salt mix along with testing the basics plus calcium, AKH and PH materials. I would like to get a decent amount of growth. Any help would be great. you will better lighting than a fish only tank requires, like T5's or 1watt LED's

Looking good!!
I like the clown. Did you say that you wanted to pair him up with another clown? Are you going to do a second jig saw clown or something different?
Its funny how we try to get our sig others into the hobby by letting them pick out things here and there. I let my wife help pick some fish and she has been super into my tank lately. Keep up the good work!!

OK finally made it to Florida
i have to do some kind of review on the rapid guys
well i have to say there thoughts are good but i feel there product is crap
put it all together and after about 3 days they would no longer go to max light output kinda like they just stayed dim
and never brightened up then LEDs would turn on and off blink like crazy then they wouldn't shut off even when you
hit the off button on the controller well i should say a few would shut off then a few would stay on and blink
so i paid a electrician to come over and tear it all down and rebuild it yeah did the same thing
talking to the rapid guys they are sure its all on me but if you look around im not the only person that has had this problem
so all and all if u need light for 3 days there great but for 300 bucks there are a lot better lights out there
im going back to MH and a HO T5 mix going to pick it up now
