Greetings, Im a little new to the game so please bear with me. I bought my first green carpet with a pair of skunk clowns yesterday. I added them to a 20 Gal reef tank I cycled a few months back with live rock and some bottom dwellers. Parameters are 8.3, 0 nit,0 amo, 5 nitrates, 1022, 79 f. Using JBJ lighting w/2 65 w compacts(1 is 10k white and 1 gives the Blue spectrum).Oh, im also running an aqua clear 200 with a sealife systems skimmer. Whew!!!! The carpet is looking flat and small this morning and id like to know if this is going to last long. For the record 2 anemone crabs hitchiked and are still on the carpet. I fed some small shrimp last night to help it bounce back from its journey. (If anyone's wondering the larger skunk clown was beside the carpet in the morning but ran like hell when he saw me so im still hoping for a bond) Thanks in advance for any insight.
