You can put them in with the lights on, just start them at the bottom of the tank like we have mentioned and then slowly move them to where you want them to go!

Thanks Little Fish, will do.

Here is my 'before' and 'after' - The first is about the size of 3 marbles, the second is softball size! All in about 15 months! Oh, and my superglue gel lasts for maybe 3 plugs, or two plugs and my fingers! :)

In November, I bought a duncan frag that had 3 heads. It now has 15. And that's with no feeding whatsoever.

But the problem with those is once you get them comfortable in your tank, they'll ask to be moved to a tank in South Beach.

Welcome! The biocube 14 was my first tank. Are you using the bioballs that came with it?
If you want to save on glue, look into IC Glue. I paid 5 bucks for a tube that's like 7 inches by 1.5 inches. It's A LOT of glue. :)

I started with the bioballs in there, but, as I did more research I saw that most people advised against it. So, I have been removing them slowly and rinsing the ones still in there with old tank water every 6-7 days...
DAvis, Your before pic looks just like my Duncan now, thank goodness, I keep looking at him thinking, is this right? Can't wait for him to look like your "after" pic.
I was sent 2 free palys/zoos and they don't look the happiest, maybe they want to be higher and closer to the light, I moved the one up a bit.
One is the ugliest brown. Actually, they both looked ugly brown then I flipped my actinic (sp?) lights on high and one looks very green now.
The orange ric. mushroom is pretty sad too, looks bleached out. Oh something else to agonize over!

I'd give them some time to acclimate, I dont think its all that uncommon for corals to look a little worse for wear after shipping
