That might be it then I'll acclimate them slower and see if it helps from now on thanks for the help I appreciate the advice

My sps are doing great I thought I might have been too much light so I put the favia under a cave kinda protecting it from the light. So idk I'm dumbfounded with this. I just read somewhere that it could be my tangs nipping at it, iv never seen it but who knows

I didn't have any problems with them escaping but that's just me. However like he ^ just mentioned they will move all your rock work arround

Cool thanks man

I had a Bimac octopus for a year and a half in my 55 gallon it was the coolest pet I have ever owned by far and I have had some pretty cool stuff. They have such an interesting personality and are extremely intelligent. If I were your friend I would not second guess getting them. Just do it...

Hey man there is no need to worry about a nitrate shock when I did it my nitrates were off the charts 160 ppm or so maybe more and everything in my tank was fine just try to have to ph salinity and temp as close as possible but you mentioned your ph was already in the 8 range so you should be...

Sweet let us know how it goes. Ohh and don't forget to warm up the water you will be putting in your tank

I can't wait to see what I can learn! I am really curious about what people choose to supplement with and where they like to keep their levels at and the results such as growth and color they have

Thank man!

I had a tank with "old tank syndrome" it was a fish only tank with a few soft corals the way I fixed it was a massive water change where I took out almost all my water and replaced it...nothing died and everything flourished after Here check out this article it's how I revived my tank...
