Today should be an amazing day, yet I feel a bit off. Yesterday I added a CuC and they all seem to be doing great. It's nice to at least have some life in the tank even if the huge number of pods swimming around is detracting from the tanks appeal. That part is good.
I was very excited since the Huntsville, AL coral expo was today. I drove out there and it wasn't what I expected. Everyone was so busy that I didn't want to cost the vendors sales by asking questions. Makes me really with that the North Alabama Reef Club was still active. I picked up 3 frags that one vendor said might be ok for a new tank. Two are zoa's and one is an acro (I think, was too dumb to ask). When I got home I acclimated them, did a Bayer dip, and got them ready to go in the tank. That is where my mood went a bit south.
How much light is "Medium light"? How much flow is "high flow"? Where should I put these new frags in the tank? I would have loved to have someone local that could have looked at my tank and helped recommend good placements. Instead, I did the best I could and hope they will be ok. They are tiny frags and really just an experiment to see if my tank is ready but I still want to see them live.
This forum is great and I have learned so much. As valuable as this forum is it just isn't a substitute for local support.
