Absolutely right. I cringe when I hear of people buying tank water from the LFS to help "cycle" their new tank. If your live rock is cycled and just pulled out of one tank and immediately placed into the new tank, it should be completely fine and not require any cycling. I've tested this theory multiple times with my own tanks.

I need to do a writeup one day dispelling all the wuju juju that us reefer's seem to do out of sheer habit and misguided haplessness, haha.

Top down time!

Some good news, a few of the Palys have started to sprout babies. At some point, I intend to upgrade the lighting to get better colors out of the corals (the rendition leaves a lot to be desired, IMO) -- but in the meantime, the fixture has been surprisingly effective at keeping the corals well-nourished.

Nice dendros do they have polyps out under lights ? I've held off getting some thinking they're drawn in when the tank is lit.

Lots of dendros will extend their polyps during the day. Might take some training or small food partials in the water but most of the dendros I've seen are open even during daylight.

My dendros are always out. Its rare to see it closed up, day or night.

Mine are the opposite of suncorals in that they are open 90% of the time, if not more.
