New Gigantea

[ponokareefer]

Thanks for the words of encouragement, but this is the first and last time I spend $189 only to flush it down the toilet in 8 days. I have read that after they hit a year in captivity, they become bulletproof. If there ever is a gigantea for sale from a fellow reefer and it has been in captivity for over a year, I'll jump on it. Unfortunately, they are for sale few and far between from other reefer's.

I had not tried to feed it yet as everywhere I read said to wait until it had settled in first, but it only had one good day. Food does blow around the tank fairly good at feeding time, so there is a good chance it caught a little bit.

Regarding lights, I read people on reefcentral having to shield their MH's for a couple of weeks while the gigantea got settled in, so I was prepared for that. Unfortunately it didn't seem to help.
