I’ve never had one but I have read a lot of posts. If it is in an undesirable location put flow on it and it should move. Maybe someone with real experience will chime in.

I popped in walmart and petco on the way home. no way I'm putting these in my tank. i picked up 2 tubs that look strong. I add the frags to two 5 gl. buckets I had with the remain salt mix in my brute. I mixed up a batch of water in my brute and after 1 hour I added the coral to them. Had to mount some to pieces of my Marco rock I had left over, especially the duncan pieces. My major concern is, my tubs are not cycled, I added some microbe-lift tank starter, I do have a a sicce micro pump in each tub for water movement. Can i get by with water changes every other day or do the corals put out ammonia ?

edit: forgot to add, the duncans appear to be opening as I type this, the others no
Corals actually prefer ammonia over nitrates, fun fact. Ammonia is toxic to fish so we don't want it in our tanks. I'd say a little ammonia is fine, just don't let it get too high because too much of everything can cause issues. Do you have any media from your main tank? Or even a piece of rock? That should be sufficient for how low the bioload will be.
 
ok. who's the archer's? I have a kid interested, trying to figure out what...a Bear Cheyenne or a Super Kodiak?
I own a bear, nice bow, but idk squat haha. Just pulled it out and let a few loose this afternoon. Going to try and dial it in this summer

stop teasing me. The Cheyenne looks nice but hej.... The super Kodiak looks nice too. This is just for a Yout. Yes that's my cousin Vinny. But a compound is great but not for two. I would need adjust between a 25" and a 28" draw etc...

I bought it fully intending to hunt, then found out I needed to take a course and havent done anything with it since haha. That was 2 or 3 years ago. This year might be the year though
