New Hobbyist Here..With PICS!

[04V10]

Hey guys,

New guy here from Cold Lake. I just started up my 20gal last week. I've got a marineland 150 penguin HOB (no biowheel)
~20lbs live rock
25lbs live sand
50W heater (My 100W had a leak and I have to return it)
Koralia Nano power head
Hydor Power Head
Mazarra LED lights. Going to get another module to help with the spotlighting.

I am on day 8 of the cycle process and have just started 2 days ago to see nitrites and nitrates.

There are a few inhabitants that hitchhiked in. I've got what looks like Zoas, a bristleworm, and some unknown polyp at the time. There also was a very large crab that crawled out to die on day 4..lol. I also opted not to scrub the rock as there was some really good coraline on the rock, as well as some sps coral that I was hoping would survive. Looking forward to chatting with you guys. Let me know what you guys think. Oh and yes I know that red algae is a pain in the butt, but I figure I'd get one or two mexican turbos to go crazy over it..
