ok, we need to talk more about your set-up, what do you have in your tank, how much LR, sand, lighting pumps flow? What are you using to test your water with, type kits? Did you buy cured LR? Give us some feedback on your tank so we can think of several things going on, maybe even help out. I'll be out of town tomorrow but I'm sure you'll get good feedback.

Welcome to RF! As scooter stated more info will be needed regarding your tank for us to know which direction to point you in. I hope you enjoy it here and find the place very friendly and informative as it has been to me

If you have a hard time understanding anything please ask. For example there are lots of acronyms that can be confusing, such as LR=live rock, LOL=laugh out loud, RF=reef frontiers ect.. Some you may already know and some you don't. It was a bit confusing at first for me. I hope this helps. There is a post somewhere that explains a lot of them but I don't remember where it is.

Welcome to Reef Frontiers!!!

Look forward to hearing more about your set-up! Is your lawnmower eating prepared foods?

What do lawnmower's eat?

I have found lawnmower blennys to be hit or miss. Some manage to take prepare foods fairly readily, others just graze on tank algae and may end up starving. Mysis is not a bad thing to try, also nori, spirulina, etc... Perhaps soak some of the food in selecon to better stimulate feeding. Sometimes live brine can stimulate appetites, but as far as I know, they aren't the best nutritionally.
