Need some advice please--newb stress!

Everyone in the house agrees(including me on this one) that nitrates are 10 today. So that's an improvement . Nitrite still 0. Think things just might stabilize in a few days! My leather coral has no green things sticking out today though so far. Is that ok? Remember, I'm new to corals. I don't know what's normal yet.

Never mind--its got tons of green polyps out now. Must have been sleeping. See? I know nothing about corals!

On New Tanks you sometimes get a false reading of 0.25 and it's pretty common! I would not worry about it unless you see other signs of stress in your tank.

The only stress is they can't bully me into giving them more food! LOL They had me snowed for a while.
