    good news... you have an amazing wife, enjoy it... bad news, it was way too soon.. explain about how the tanks work in simple concepts over a nice dinner and wine to prevent such from happening again.. the dinner and wine to calm her, but please reassure her that you appreciate her thoughtfulness.. I hope it goes well and keep up the good work...

    Ok sooo it was a weeeeee bit early to put that much into your tank,but she really did put her very best interest in the tank and most deff thought she was giving you an awsome gift(s)...I say talk to your lfs, see if the can hold some for you and place them back in over time....well good luck, and remember pics pics...lol

    she definately spent some serious money on this stuff. Saying a prayer that it all stays healthy.

    BTW she picked out some really beautiful stuff.

    @Bama, thanks for the tip for posting pictures.

    I just fed my corals with "Coral Frenzy", 1/4 a teaspoon, and will leave my filtration off for an hour and then my skimmer win run full time..
