The day seemed to fly by. We got the tank onto the stand and started mixing up water from the ro/di unit. An Aquaclear 5000 powerhead and a 100 watt heater made short work of mixing the salt and bringing the temp up. Unfortunately the RO/DI had a hard time keeping up.
I've got the tank about 3/4 full and have cleaned much of the glass already. Still a long way to go. The rock is in and I have good temp and 2 powerheads providing movement. Tomorrow we'll aquascape, add more water and go from there.
Pic of the tank as it sits right now...
Need help identifying these. I've been told teh yellows are Yellow polyps. I am going to guess that the browns are Brown button polyps.
These purple guys, I'm not sure if they are alive growth or just left over encrustings. They remind me of amethyst, but rounder. Anyone know?
There are also quite a few small brown feather like polyps that suck in when touched. If anyone can hazard a guess without a pic?
