Interesting process with the dinos. Have you added the pods and phyto yet? Also i would like to point out that the sub marine is awesome lol.

Submarine was my wife’s input on the fish tank haha I basically just did a deep clean on my tank o haven’t added anything things kinda got better after the deep clean it’s been 5 days and I haven’t seen any signs of dinos I do my regular feedings and the pods that lived in my rock started coming out the rock more

So I purchased some corals that were 50% off these will be In my QT tank untill my main tank stabilizes ! I just couldn’t pass up the deals

 

[shadow_k]

it’s HAPPENING ! I already see a pest one of them maybe aiptasia ? I’m not sure I already have aiptasia in the tank but I don’t want anymore

Look at them and all there nice colors ! They accidentally sent me 3 favias instead of 3 zoas I ordered 3 zoas 2 Favias but I’m not complaining! I just gotta figure out what the last one is

I think by tomorrow everything should be settled. @fishguy242 do you light acclimate your corals or you just stick them in the tank ?

I have my lights at 50% to not shock the corals. I also didn’t mind the extra favia they were 25 and the zoas were 17 so I’m okay

They should be OK with regular lights as long as you start them out on the sand bed.

This time I’m taking it easy putting stuff in the tank and weekly 10% water changes I can not let it get that bad again. And yes ! You can beat the dinos once again friend
