    No problem, if they're swimming around now they will be fine. Most fish only need about 1 hour to acclimate to their surroundings.

    They like swimming in the flow of your vortech. You might even see them swim in formation in the flow. One will drop back and every one else move up. Real cool.

    Half a cube would be good I think. Just watch them eat and if you see they finish everything then that should be fine. ( mine devour one cube and a half in a minute) ofcourse I have the tang clowns and gobies but you can kinda see.

    yea its sooo cool i love the movement. Im trying to get more pictures with the light on but i cant get their colors to show, they just turn out white. ill try again later i guess. And their swimming alll over the tank now, its sooo cool

    ok, ill do half a cube each then and up my flakes. ill be feeding in an hour so well see how it goes.

    And my skimmer will finally have something to skimm now since i have a massive bioload compared to how many fish i had before
