nice tank.i wouldnt have gotten a ginoporia.they really dont live long.they need a more nutrient tank which even then they dont survive.also if you cycle the tank with the damsel i hope you plan on keeping it cause they are hard to get out.other then that nice start.

Tank cycled very fast (less than 3 weeks) and you are right. I started off with 3 damsels, could only catch two. same with the chromis and I still can't catch the last one. I've also heard the same thing about gonapora but I know a couple of people who have kept them sucessfully.

yes you can try i hope it survives(mine didnt :mad: )i started my first tank with damsels to but i eventually got all SIX out lol but they were very hard to catch.good luck with the tank its looks like its coming along great.
 
Are your rocks touching the sides of your tank?
If so, imagine the pinpoint pressure on the glass, IMO not a good thing.
