Hai, with the Royal Bicolor Dottyback.. You may need to careful the next fish/shrimp plan to add.. this is super aggressive + territory fellas, And Yellow tail damsel also known to be Fin nipper... But both of them are super hardy fish.. :) Probably, stop adding further until tank cycle completed..

Since tank still cycling, just make sure regularly WC and routine water parameter check required... especially PH swing due to cycle...

Cheers and Happy Reefing...

Get the coral food.

It's in liquid form...

Lighting should be say 6hours min.

More will of coz be better...

Try to rescape your rock again if have time.

In a way where by your LS got more hiding place n can c them swimming in n out of the cave u created for them!

Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean!

:) Well, just some small piece of advice, I'm also still learning, so much to learn.:D The zoas are opening, water condition should be still ok. Try get some measuring kits and maintain the water to get more advance.

Happy reefing bro!:groupwavereversed:

I got some question.

1) What to feed or add into the water become food for the coral?

2) how much lighting is suffient for the coral (blue / white)?

I don't think it's a must to feed zoas, they are primarily photosynthetic. Feeding might probably be an addtional enhancement if any.

Have fun with the rescape . :upsidedown:

Hmm nice additional but 3 tangs is kinda crampy in that tank

nice salfin btw

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
