Thanks! As far a water parameters go it's been pretty smooth sailing buuuut, keeping fish alive is a whole nother story.....

there is NO ROOM to laugh at that tank..... MARVELOUS!! some of the prettiest tanks I have EVER seen have been under 10 gallons.

that will mature into a beautiful tank... you are well on your way!!!

Yeah...looking better than my tank right now. Great job!

So-

How is that PJ and pod population doing? Notice a difference?

Also curiouse how that stressed batch of zoas are working out for you.

Pod pop is gone! So far I've had to dispose 4 of the frags out of 7. Of which 1 of them is still iffy, out of the 6 polyps only 2 have opened up. So all in all I've got 2 out of 7 frags that look good. As of yet the seller's done nothing about it. Last I spoke with him, which was last week he wanted me to pay shipping for the replacements. I told him no prob, just let me know when and how much. Said he'd send me pic's of the replacements this past weekend, never did and I haven't heard from him since. So I paid 80$ for 2 descent frags, both looking very much alike. Makes me mad but what ya gonna do. I wont buy from him again is all.

Yep, like others have said - smaller tanks are def harder to manage.

HOWEVER....don't let anyone fool you - you made the right choice of going small starting out. Once you master a small tank, you'll be able to manage a larger one if/when you upgrade.

Going big as a 1st tank in this hobby is pretty risky if you ask me. What happens if you don't like it or can't keep up with it? Then, you've spent a lot of money on something that isn't for you...a waste of time & waste of a lot of money.

Your tank looks good. Give it time to grow, & you'll appreciate it more.

tank looks very good. cant wait to see it mature..dont worry about them zoa's, they can surprise you. just when you think you are going to lose them they spring back up. ive had that happen a few times. Ive had zoa's stay closed for over a week then open up. I think its self preservation and clean method they have. Great tank keep at it.

I agree about the zoas dont write them off unless they are melted off the rock or frag plugs I have seen them close up for 2+ months and then when you are thinking they are dead and will never open again bam it wakes up and you can enjoy them again

also +1 on the smaller tank is harder actualy much harder but a larger tank within reason isnt nessicarly more expensive I have know people that built tiny 8g tanks and cost them the same it would have to setup a 55 or 75 tank

Few pic's of my old and new zoa's, a nice piece of Xmas Tree Favia and my little hitch hiker crab~who's not touching my corals but eating detritus like crazy~lil goby and his buddy too! Not bad colors for compacts right?

I really like the second to last polyp pic!! Very cool lookin!
