new addition to the tank

To me in my simple opinion trying to compare a hardy coral with a fish reference . I'd say the open brain is about has hardy and easy to keep as any hard to keep fish. Ohhh say a Emperor Angelfish or some other angels or butterflies ... pristine and stable water is a must Nothing I'd want to buy and add to a new system not ready for it.. You never did say what type of lighting you are trying to keep this coral and anemone under.. if you did I may have missed it i do hat sometime's LOL

 

yes lightning is flurecent 40w atm :-[ the MH will arrive hopefully next week by mail.

 

my water condition seems still ok atm everything is same besdies the kH went up to 10. you think the MH will help my little anominies a lot? the little thing isnt expensive but i dont want it to die ><;;

 

How big of a tank is that little bit of lighting supporting? MH lighting will not protect your animals from the spikes that your water will experience while it's cycling but it can't hurt.

 

I've seem em lighter than that and they did just fine with alittle tlc-

 

I have no doubt that the coral could bounce back but certainly not under 40 watts of lighting in a 2-3 week old tank.

 

You may have a point Amcarrig- by the way I do like your new parrot

 

Thanks. I'm guessing that you didn't care for kitty either

 

I had one exactly like that one. It's not bleached. Mine lasted for almost 6 months, during which I was learning and made some dumb mistakes and lost it. Let me guess, as you can't tell from the pic, the center is kinda chartruse?
I made the same mistake your making, got it too early in my tanks life cycle.
