"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" (maybe) :mrgreen:

No, mine are on 24 hours a day.

Why 24hrs?

Because that way, the algae is basically feeding and taking up nutrients in the water 24/7.

I C how quickly does the cheato grow?

 

[Bifferwine]

Mine grows super fast. But it will grow at a different rate in each tank. The more food it has, the faster it grows.

How long do you think it will be before Sid comes out, I cant move any rock?

Who is Sid?

Sid is my new Royal Gramma who is hiding from the other fish

It won't do any good to move your rocks to chase him out. Royal grammas hide in crevices and cracks, so even if you did, you may not find him. Plus, you could disturb stuff and piss off your corals and cause a mini-cycle. It can take new fish a week or so to come out. Just give him some time. If he doesn't come out, there isn't much you can do about it.

I can see him and feed him so at least I know he is safe and fed

Can corals be over fed? my sun coral always seems to be fully open as though waiting for food, I feed it every night with either mysis or Cyclops, what do you think is it too much? or too often
