All of those corals are photosynthetic but you can feed the Duncan, candy cane, torch and wellso. They should take mysis shrimp feelings every couple of days. Duncan's grow super fast with feeding. Mine went from 2 heads to 17 in about 7 months
correct sir, ALWAYS dip, i learned the hard way, i lost alomst half of my watermelon zoa colony

I use two little fishes revived coral dip and have never had a pest problem. For fish acclimation yes drip them until salinity matches, usually takes 30-60 minutes. I would try not to add any of the stores water especially for fish as it could contain copper or other nasties. Inverts and corals the water is generally ok but I still would try not to.
Cool, thanks! I just picked up a ten gallon for 30$ that I have plans to use as a heavily planted FW tank but that's only gonna happen way after I have fish and corals so I might use it as an emergency QT in the meantime. It came with a pump and syphon which together would've cost me the price of the tank if I bought them brand new. So I'm gonna use them to make salt an do wc lolNah I wouldn't worry to much about them, probably just extra proteins from the cycle. Seems like you are well on your way!
I would say QT everything I learned the hard way in the past. Some infections you don't see.
Inverts and all? How long about? QT should be bare bottom with maybe a PVC pipe for hiding, heater, filter. That's all correct? Do I still need to cycle it?
No I don't do the inverts. Yes only PVC heater not a big time filter any will do yes you have cycle it you can use the water from your water change to move it along that's what I did with mine. I QT for six weeks.
PraziproOk, so ill purchase all my inverts first then and I'll put in some filter floss in my main tank when it's cycled and use old water so the cycle won't be long or hopefully not even necessary. What do you dose while your fish are in QT?
Prazipro Cupramine Maracyn plus for sw.
Alright, cool. The maracyn plus is only if you see bacterial infection right? Or do you dose it anyway? Would a 5g be sufficient for my desired stock? I'd probably QT the clowns together though. Thinking of it now I'd like to have an emergency QT on hand and I have future plans for the 10g. Just a reminder: Yellow watchman goby Oce clown + black oce clown Purple firefish
Maracyn only if I see problems after I finish dosing the other two. I have a 55g QT so I would say the 5g is to small so use the 10.
Yea you should be good
