75 Gal Reef Build

[Dano.]

Is it your first nem? And what types of coral do you have?

 

[Dano.]

It amazes me that after a few months I still find new hitchhikers in my tank! I have a star fish the size of a quarter cruising across my glass after the lights are out

 

[Rosseg]

Hey yeah this would be my first nem. I've got mostly LPS with a zoa rock and an acropora frag

 

[Dano.]

Any advice you'd have for me, who already has 10-12 Corals on various points on the rock?

My only advice is watch the nem. Mine would move around the rocks for the first few weeks and sometimes end up behind the rocks or even under them. I would flip the rock and he would move. He never bothered any of my coral, he would get close but generally not walk on them. After the first few weeks he found a spot he liked and anchored himself in a rock, I moved the rock a few times and i even moved that rock to my new tank and he is still attached.

Hope this helps

Breakinpoint ?

Breakinpoint ?

New protein skimmers require a break in. Of about 1 or 2 weeks

So do I have to turn it off for a week?

 

[Khij159753]

No it won't brake in unless its running

I was going to get a rainsford but I am maxed on fish my my 40gallon breeder. Also I need help with cyano and they only eat green stringy algae I hear. They look awesome though.
