thanks, I hope to get the corals in by next week, my levels weren't too high, I figured a water change would bring them down to zero.

Hey blaze. Well but honestly tho don't rush into things. I've seen some of my friends do that and the tank ends up crashing on them. Best thing to do is to make sure the water par. are good and everything is running good first. Well this is what i did. i started off with some hermit crabs and some snails first to break in the tank. Then one of the first things i got was mushrooms. They are pretty hardy corals and seem to be pretty easy to take care of. well good luck with everything and hopefully we can keep this thread up and you can show me your tank once in a while. i'll update this thread once i get new stuff in my tank.
