So it's going into week 3 since I moved the tank and all is well for the most part.
I am starting to get to green hair on the walls of the tank so I am cutting back the lighting to 8 hours starting tonight. (on at 10, off at 6).
Water params are good and after a tiny little nitrate spike to 30, it's back down to <5.
I did find an interesting little condylactis growing, so I fed him a piece of a cut up fresh Prawn and he gobbled it up in about 10 minutes.
I am going by the lfs today to pick up some more saltwater, and some food for the inverts.
Damsels, are, well, they're damselling, and the snails and crabs are doing a decent job although I am going to add to them as well.
Once I hit my magical 6 week mark, if I don't see any signs of a cycle I am going to start shopping for my Occelaris or my Coral Beauty.
Also, shopping for MH (hqi 250) + T5 kit.
