Hello again... I created my profile right before the forum went down, and when I tried to log on again, I ended up having to start all over, and I can't find my previous post  . I'm new to all of this. Just wanted to say hello, and I'll be back later for more info. I've LOVED reading the various threads, and I'm quickly becoming addicted to my new hobby!
I set up my 20 gal Feb 2, 2009, and so far everything's been okay. I currently have a clown, pseudochromis, red and white checked goby, peppermint shrimp, and a condy. I've learned that long skinny fish find the small hole in your aquarium lid and jump out, and that bubble anenomes aren't nearly as beautiful when they get sucked into your filter intake. Also, large, aggressive hermits eat your new fish faster than you can name them  .I conquered the cyano like a pro (dumb luck probably). I've been reading absolutely everything I come across, and have been grateful for this forum.
I could REALLY use some more live rock, so if you know anyone who's looking to unload some, let me know. I have an actinic I bought off a friend, and if I'm calculating right, I have about 6wpg. I do have some questions about how to attach corals to rocks. Some friends have given me very small pieces of various zoas, and I've just tossed them into the tank. They seem to find a spot they like and just hang out, but I have no idea how to attach them. Tried it once and made a big mess and killed the poor little guys. I'm trying to go as slowly as I can stand, mainly so my husband doesn't have a fit over the price tag  . I'm open for any suggestions anyone might have, and thank you in advance!
