How long has your tank been running?

I've had it for almost a month now. but the rocks I have in there are fully cured for more than a year.

my nemos, damsel, cucumber, and cleaner shrimps have been in there since day 1. oh and my zoas and xenias are also thriving.

I would highly recommend that you set up a quarantine tank. Everything you purchase--fish, corals etc should go into the qt for 4-6 weeks for observatio. That way you can treat it if you have to, it is a less stressful environment, and it helps get difficult feeders to eat.
