Have you started to see the brown bloom yet? Add some crab and/or snails see how they do

It's basically a hair shy of 1.026. I am planning to add a tiny bit of salt but I wanted to see if more leeched out of the LR I bought from Pieces. I might leave it be too because I am planning a partial w.c. this weekend.

Well I'll see how the zoas do before I go too crazy. Might also get a couple blue chromis or possibly damsels to see if I can get a little ammonia. Just want to make sure the tank cycle is established before I invest too much in coral.

if you want a free tester zoa frag to try out pm me and if you want to swing by this weekend you can come grab one to try out im in the se near 17th:)

In Calgary the crabs or snails can be just as expensive as fish :( Even the tiny blue legged crabs are going for around $7 ea. I haven't had any algae blooming. The coraline seems like it is growing though

Same, I'm in the SE near you. I'd love a free frag to try if you're willing to donate one to the cause :)

sure i think i can spare one to the cause:P im free most of the weekend if you want to swing by just pm me and we can arrange something:)

Well I would throw some fish in there then like chromis I would hate to see a coral thrown in there and die as coral is already expletive enough not sure how much chromis cost in cowtown here they cost me 4 bucks a piece for 4 chromis

The price for chromis and damsels here are probably just shy of $20, maybe as low as $15ish. So adding fish etc. isn't more economic than adding zoa frags :(

Wow that is expensive I get virtually all my livestock from J&L aquatics even with the cost of shipping its still cheaper than buying local maybe you should tr them?

Oh I will be :)
