Yea I found out its a green pocillipora (sp?) that indeed isnt doing well. Everything I've heard the cucumber is reef safe, I have a SRO-1000INT skimmer and a GAC reactor so I'm not that worried about toxins if it dies.

Looks sweet James, let us know how it works out for you. I've been looking at one of those for my new build

Thanks BL, so far it seems great, I got it all setup with the lights and heater, PH and Temp probes. The ATO took the most time but it seems to be working well. I got it running with 1 float switch, an aqualifter and a 10g tank for now.

Looks good with the new rock. I will be live and colored up in a few months. How's the RKL? I'm thinking about adding one in the near future.

Thanks! RKL is great, i had it up and running within 30 mins. It's nice not having to worry about a heater cooking the tank and the ATO is great.

That's some nice looking rock James. It won't take long for it to color up.

Update: Decided to ditch the pocillipora since it was pretty much dead and I noticed at least 4 aiptasia and vermitid snails on it. Rather toss it than deal with aiptasia forever.

Sorry to say that it looks like my Florida Riccordia is about to die, my fiance messaged me today at work and told me that my Green aussie acro fell from the rocks and landed straight on my ric, It is now very shrivled up and really not looking well. I dont think its going to make it :(

Ouch! It may pull through. Rics are tough... If it starts to get slimy and look snotty, then it's time to pull it out. :(

Tank is now running under 2x250w MH. Bulbs of choice were 20k Radiums. The colors really pop on these.
