Thanks :)

The GSP is being so weird, had it for a few days now, every other frag i got from the same person is doing great. the GSP however hardly opens up, it was the most today when i first turned on the lights id say almost half of it. but now its down to like 5 polyps each

And my clearner shrimp molded for the first time, turned on the light and was like HOLY *@#$ its dead, then like ooooh its just hiding lol.

May be not enough/strong enough light?

Great looking little nano! I like it! Although you gotta take that Aqueon sticker off the back, duuuude! ;)

My GSP is fussy too...it covers half of the back glass on my 90 and it gets ****y when I need to do a waterchange or if the alkalinity drops below 7 dKH. It is my reminder coral. :lol: What's your calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium at?
