    How big is your tank??? What kind of filtration system do you have?? You stocked it very very fast. It might be ok right now but you better be keeping a close eye on everything.

    its a 105 g with a 40g sump with a sock filter , super skimmer , uv twist and ya its alot for a new tank . I didnt do much research before buying anything and didnt know it was a bad idea to stock fast like that .I cant really return all my fishs and corals now but will be doing my best and doing research to take care of my new friends . I am testing everyday and watching everything to make sure there not stressed . I have just set up 20 g hospital tank (is doing its cycle now)and I am planning to set up 50g refuge for macro and mangrove and will be running into main tank with hang on the back overflow . (waiting for parts to come ) oh and I am getting a ro/di system from family member .
