My future purchases are gonna be a few mushrooms, frogspawn, and for the upper portion possible a...

    Cabbage and Devils hand issues.

    Let me start by saying my uncle has a 150 gallon tank that we cut up some pieces since things are going pretty rapidly. His readings were very different than mine so for all the corals that where added I took about 1-2 hrs to move them over. All are well except 2 pieces and wanted to make sure...
