I've actually had it for a little over 2 months now. Everyone told me it would last like 2 weeks and then die but I've had pretty good luck with it.

pics! excuse my sorry attempt at fragging the pink button polyps... lol He hasn't really opened a whole lot more than he is in the pictures... Also picked up a couple other pieces...

I feed MarineSnow so that should take care of the feeding I guess. When you say a large water change if it dies, how large are we talkin? I generally do 25% every 14 days or so.

I'lll try to get some pics, I might have to wait until later when my lights come on though. yes, my tank has been cycled for quite awhile

nothing special I need to do with it? or feed it? anywhere particular I should have it as far as lighting and flow are concerned?

Went to my LFS today, they had some Atlantic live rock (I think thats what they called it), they said they only get it two or three times a year. They were selling it for $10.99/lb and whatever corals were on the rock were included! So I got a couple pieces, took them home, put them in the tank...

annnnnndddd, my clown fish now has the ick. sigh... :frustrat:

Catherine, you're right, this has been a very welcoming group! :D The vitamin supplement you linked is the same companys stuff that I have (the calcium, iodine, and strontium). I'm still very unsure of the iodine as I didn't see anything to test it at my LFS tonight. I've also heard that it...

What are SPS and LPS? I bought a much better test kit tonight, but I don't see anything about iodine, or strontium... The guy at my LFS told me when I started with the corals to be dosing all of this stuff, but now I'm second guessing all that... BTW, the clown has found a nice home in...

Didn't find you to come off rude at all! In fact, I appreciate the advice! :beerchug: I don't really like the test strips too much, I'm definitely going to end up getting the drops. I'm going to stop adding anything until I can test for it and determine if I really need to dose it or not. How...

Trace elements are Calcium, Strontium, and Iodine, correct? and I shouldn't have to add any of them right now with just a couple corals? :12: Could overdosing the water with those trace elements be hurting the yellow polyps? The MarineSnow I do still need to add as food for the corals, right?

One thing I'm curious about, because I've gotten pretty varying advice on... is what I'm adding to the water, how much, and how often... MarineSnow, Calcium, Strontium, and Iodine...? The clown is starting to look a little better, he's swimming around more and looks a little more comfortable...

I've had my 24 gallon Aquapod set up for about 8 months now, started as fish only and switched over to reef about 2 months ago.... For the past 2 months, I've had a snowflake eel, 2 turbo snails, 2 emerald crabs, a gorgonian branch, and a yellow polyp colony, and quite a bit of liverock...
