Hey guys,

 

My 20 gallon high tank has finished cycling. A friend of mine gave to me a pieces of polyps including a blue spotted polyp and one of those pulsing xenia. They seem to be doing well and growing, Theres also a 4 strip damsel, 5 snails, 5 blue legged dwarf crabs.

 

For lighting, I have one 100 WATT white compact flo

and one 100 WATT blue actinic compact flo

 

I measured my parameters yesterday, they are as follows.

 

pH - 8.2

Ammonia - 0

Nitrite - 0

Nitrate - 5ppm

Phosphate - 0

Copper - 0

Alkalinity (KH) - 140 mg/L

 

Should I be testing for anything else at this point? Much appreciated! Also, should I feed my xenia and tree polyp brine shrimp with a mini dropper?

Might want to test Ca if you are considering LPS or concerned about corraline growth .

Your Xenia will do AWSOME with a drop or two of iodine weekly.
