Yea i know they are in there i just thought it would be nice for ppl to post here that dont mind ppl sending them an instant message.

I was just sitting here and had an idea. I was thinking people could post their aim or other chat sn so if they needed help or just wanted to chat they could post their sn in this section. Dont know if this is a good idea but if you agree post it here. AIM: Mopar32985

I have just started using Bio Clean from Protibio. Have anyone one here use this with success. Thanks

Yes its a false percula also have a jaw fish, and a Map angel. Thanks for your input

I would have to adgree with you i think i did add everything too early. As far as the food goes i will def try to switch to more frozen and fresh foods. I did just about a week ago added about a 2 inch live sand bed into my refugium and changed the bulb to a 5500k instead of the 2700k. Hopefully this will help in the fallowing weeks. The skimmer was skimmiming to thin so that is now adjusted properly. How often would you guys reomend doing water changes. Also yesterday just added a pair of coral banded shrimp. Hopefully this might help so for the uneaten food. Thanks again to everyone for their help.

I would not doubt at all that a ro/di system would def help. I am a plumber in Montgomory county and i know i would never use DC tap water there water is horrible. There has been multiple warrnings in the past about that it wasnt even completely safe to drink it. But thanks for the input and i till try to get a system to see if that helps.

second pic is beautiful

Here are some more dont think they are any better but they might look better if i did some editing in ps or elements.

thank you for your comment and your suggestions. Im going to take some pics and post them tonight.

To start off with thank you all very much for your quick response. I have a better light over my fug now im using an energy saver bulb which is at 5500k. I do not have cheato its one of the others that the lfs recommended. Sry cant remember the name. I tested the water one day after i got those sps, and im using API reef test kit. This is why im so worried i dont want to loose them.As for water changes im doing them about once a week. While i do this i clean out my sock in the sump. If you need anymore info that could help i would greatly appreciated it. Thanks again what a great community.
