ahah no worries... I doubt you have 6 :) I have some corals that are pretty far gone so I`m just hoping they make it or it`ll be a total waste even though they were priced accordingly... but I got pretty good light so as long as I keep up on water changes I think they might recover.

Sometimes it`s more fun to try and save corals that are in bad shape then starting with nice ones ahah... if they make it. And I`m even curious to see if the one brown one I have will color up

PS So I guess if your tank breaks you`ll know who to give it too

So after peeling the box fish off the overflow twice yesterday I reduced the flow to give him some recovery time, and repositioned some rocks to introduce some more sheltered low flow areas. Then I turned the flow back up. As of this morning is was still ok so I think things must be better.

How often does everyone feed?? With such a small tank I'm scared to feed every day??

Maybe I should grad some more hermits and toss a few in the sump to clean up excess food??

I haven't re-stocked fish yet.. so I am only spot feeding my plate every 3-4 days. But even on my 20G I usually feed every 2nd day..

Those are the sweetest plates ever, My mouth is watering are you sharing that info on
where they came from? You can p.m. and I won't tell, and if not I won't vote for you. Oh maybe I should check and see if we get to vote. Cause it wouldn't be to scary if we don't. No all kidding aside I have not seen anything like those, more pictures would be awesome.

ahah I hope your not thinking the purple/orange one or the red on are mine...? or I'll have sadly disappointed you. Sorry!

Mine are all pretty standard and can be bought at any lfs.

Yes you do get to vote... but it prob wont be for me now ahah.

I'll be posting more pics of the ones I have soon but like I said... I think you might be confusing the ones I have with the ones I want :)

Yeah I'm not too worried about the plates because I think with adequate lighting they don't need feed at all.

I was more wondering about the fish.. I was also thinking every 2nd day would be best with such a small tank.

What part of Calgary are you in?
