Hammer tentacles...normal?
- Thread starter Sosee
- Start date
I have my lights set to come on at 6am. They start with a sunrise transition and get to full brightness in 30 minutes. Then they run at that setting for 2:30 and transition back down via sunset and then off.
I do this because I like to see the tank in the morning before I head out for the day.....and I often turn them on manually at night for an hour or two to watch the tank after I get home.
EDIT: As far as flow...I have a WP-25 set on the random setting and lowest power. It keeps detritus from settling on the sand nicely.
Tank has very good water movement with little to no detritus settling. What does make its way into a nook or cranny, tends to be eaten by the hermits, snails and or Goby. <<<<< is a maniac and determined to rearrange the entire aquascape. lol

Yea, I read up on that before I bought them because I'd like to have more than just Hammers.
The only corals in the tank at the moment are the three pieces of Hammer corals and a 3-4" piece of GSP. The GSP is up and away from the Hammers and seems to be definitely happy. Its very full and loving the current its under. (Iam sure in time I will come to hate the GSP since they do tend to try and take over a tank)
As far as fish goes, the tank houses my original Blue Tang (2.5" I'd say) and a very juvenile yellow tang, a Diamond Watchman Goby (I think he is a construction foreman) and an assortment of clean up crew hermits and snails.
I am not planning on adding anything else to the tank livestock wise for awhile. I want to see how the system handles the load it has now for a few weeks before I add anything significant.
