For the last 4 weeks I have 1 clown 1 blue damsel 1 torch frag 1 frogspawn frag. Yesterday I added 3 bangai cardinals. I have wanted blue green chromis and just got a call from a local fish store saying they just finished there quarantine period and if i want them to come today because they are pretty much all spoken for. Do you guys think it would be ok to add 5 small chromis to the tank after I added the 3 big cardinals yesterday? I tested my water this morning . 0 am 0 ni. 0.25 nitrate. Thank you One thing I'd recommend you get are some Brightwell plates like Kat and I have, they work very well and the bacteria grows so fast on them. The only things that populate faster are fluidized bed filtres. You should be fine adding fish if your rock has been cycling for a month. 1 Quote Link to comment

Do you have to be a member or is it open to the public? It was good I liked it and I'm looking forward to then doing it again. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Back from MACNA and a wonderful 3 days of positivity. Meeting old friends, familiar faces, making new connections is always a huge part of these conventions. I didn't attend as many speaker presentations as I had hoped, however some crazy parties and a keynote by Charlie Veron rounded up the conference rather well. I was lucky and proud to be a part of the first Women in Reefing meeting. @Mariaface @Christopher Marks @yoshii @Got Corals @Marine Depot 7 Quote Link to comment

You usually see that kind of sponge in shaded areas. He must have been hiding in cave or something for awhile. Quote Link to comment
