So that was a coral? It came on the rock so while I would like to have it stay if it died out or was eaten I can take solice in the fact that I didn't actually 'kill it' myself, lol.

On the topic of cycling, we've had the tank up since Sunday and I've only registerd amonia once, but a 30% water change eliminated that now for two days. Never registered nitrites. Have had Nitrates at 12.5 mg/l for the last two days, and PH is 8.0.

I'm not trying to rush things but how long should I want this to go on for before I am comfortable with adding a fish. My plan is adding a firefish or yellow watchman as the next step, along with more clean up like sand stirrers, when the time is right. The question is when is the time right, lol?
