I used some epoxy to do the job

your tank is looking great! I'm thinking of adding my clowns today so I'm pumped! Here are some pics: http://imgur.com/a/zfjr8

Yeah, I bought some salt mix off amazon and mixed into my daily water changes and have corrected the issue. I also bought some test strips to double check my results with my other test kit as I wasn't sure if it was right or not, but the new test kit reveals the same results which is good

Things seem to be going well. My tanks SG dropped pretty low because of the water the LFS was giving me, but I have been able to raise it back up to normal. Bought a GPS last week and it seems to be thriving in the tank which is good to see. Move my Duncan up higher as it seemed to be upset, I...

Im displeased with my LFS water I was thinking of getting an RO/DI unit. I saw this one on ebay that is a 4 stage unit 100 GPD made by Foutainhead water systems for only $90. This seems like a crazy good deal, are these not that good? Anyone have experience with them?

also it looks as though one of the polyps that looked like it died is starting to come back to life? And now my zoas close up at night and open back up in the morning which they weren't doing before(they were just staying open 24/7)

Yeah the first week and a half it acted normally and seemed really happy. I did move it but that was on the second day. Flow should be the same, and I've tested the water quality and it seems on par with where it has been for a while now. My salinity is low though, but it seems like it's been...

good to know. the bottle expires like 10 days after i bought it lol On another note, my duncan has been very closed since monday. I did my normal water change on sunday and the duncan seemed fine all day. Still closed up now. Zoas are out though. I've read around on forums and it seems like...

I bought some phytofeast for my corals after asking the lfs what I could feed my duncan and zoas. I originally just wanted mysis shrimp, but was informed that the zoas wouldn't eat it. So I put a couple drops in the tank after turning the filter off and the zoas seemed to like it. duncan has...

Thanks. It looks like of my polyps died(the one that was face down in the dirt when it fell). What's the process on removing him?

am i supposed to remove the zoa from the plug?

Added some corals yesterday So I went to my LFS and picked up two coral frags after a couple more weeks of water changes and steady params. Got a one polyp duncan for $10, and a pretty zoa with four polyps for $20. Also picked up some coral Rx while I was there. Put them in two places up top...

changed my water on saturday measured my params today and everything was at 0 still(I even stirred up the sand some with the circulation pump). I'm gonna stick to falkfan317 recommended plan and hopefully add some corals either next week or the week after(two more water changes) to make sure...

this is exactly the response I was hoping for. Thank you! I will get started on your suggestions right away!
