Just recently added some of the ZOA's so they were closed when I took that picture. It's been hit and miss as to them opening up so far. Not sure if it's the cleaner shrimp that hangs right over them or not.

Still trying to figure out a lighting schedule and intensity. Not sure if I need more lighting at this point?

CUC was just added and that Lawnmower went to work!! 2 days earlier the rocks were completely covered in diatom algae.
