I had a rash of these about 2 months ago. They were easy to spot since the zoos would be closed that had them. For the small frags and rocks I held them in a bowl of RO/DI water and gently shook...

It has been growing since the day I got the frag. It is redish brown and looks like branches. It's not the greatest picture but it's the zoos in the center of the picture.

I have the 48" Aquactintics Solar Flare. It's a 6 bulb T5 fixture that overdrives 54w bulbs to 85w. I was thinking of some kind of LPS since SPS are for more established tanks?

This picture is a few months old but you'll get the idea. The pillar on the left is freestanding. I used zip ties to hold the rock to a pvc pipe with a U shaped base.

Water Changes

I have been changing about 7% a week since my cycle was over. With the size trash cans I have this amount works well and I can do it in about 15 minutes.

Is this too much, too little, or OK?

Good Beginner Fish?

They are #4's. They seem great but since it's my first tank I don't have anything to compare them to. They have a very wide flow and are easy to install and adjust.
