im sure you will. I love the cleaner pure white/blue they give off.

Nice additions,I really like the acros and sailfin.Be careful,sailfins grow 15'' or so but it will take a long,long time.

[NewbReefer]

Thanks Reef Acros are one of my favorite coral. The LFS did tell me they get big over a long period so i plan on trading him back once/if that time comes. hopefully he lives to see that day.

I find sailfins are one of the hardiest as far as tangs goes.Hopefully,it will have a long life for you.

[NewbReefer]

he is still abit shy but he loves the Mysis shrimp i give him every day. the LFS said i could clip some lettuce to the inside of the tank wall so he can nibble at it, is that true? or should i just get some of the seaweed strips?

[reeffreak]

I really don't like to use lettuce to feed my tangs.You can't use it straight from the fridge.They have to be softened by nuking them.Nori is a better alternative,I think its a seaweed used for sushi or something.

Go with the seaweed sheets sold at fishstores or nori.Don't forget a veggie clip.

By the time the Acros gets big you hould be confident enough in your reef keeping abilities to start fragging. Acro frags if they are colorful have great swapping values with individuals or LFS's. Fragging is easy. It is one of those things that appear freighting only until you have done it once. One you see your frags growing fragging becomes like an addictive drug.

I have fragged several of my SPS accidentally. It's really easy, all you have to do is drop the coral as you are moving it into the tank. It hits the ground, and boom, you have a new coral!

[NewbReefer]

Lol thats great Biff, i love it. I tend to drop stuff fairly often so im sure eventually i'll frag some SPS that way too.
yeah im sure fragging coral is as bad as it may seem. i accidently fragged a mushroom, I placed my mushroom frag when i first got it up againt my live rock without glueing it or anything, and a few days later decided i didn't like it there so i went to move it but some tissue had already attached itself to the rock so i ended up tearing it away and now i've got mushrooms growing in both areas

im in the middle of fragging my GSP i've kinda wedged it up against the corner of my aquarium to try and get it to grow on the glass, we'll se how that works out. I also put a bunch of rubble rock right up against it so it'll move onto those then i'll just cut em away and go get some store credit. also might try something like your little frag farm for your Xenia's i think it was Biff.
