What are your water params? What/how much are you feeding?
I hate to do this, buuuutttt: I told you so, I told you so! :P Get some joes juice dude, and be done with it
Adding live rock will always cause a cycle. If you need to add any more rock from here on out, do base rock. It takes a little longer to cure, but at...
The book, "Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies", suggests 1 inch per gallon also. Along with a myriad of terrible advice and piss-poor information....
Do you not have the clown in your sig anymore?
Wow! Those are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Do not, under any circumstances, frag zoa's in your tank. If you have never fragged before I highly suggest practicing with something else first....

My girlfriend just texted me and the tang is in real bad shape. I don't think its going to make it. I just wish I could figure out what has caused...
My sandbed is about 3 inches deep. I know stirring can cause a mini-cycle, I have done that one myself while aquascaping, but it shouldnt be like...
Well, the tang made it through the night, though it didnt look much better. My zoa's and polyps looked really droopy. They didnt even do that back...
