60 Gallon - New To Reefs

[monkE]

Well it's the 4 week mark.... damn i'm not patient enough, I thought it was a lot longer than that.

Well here's the low down, this morning I did the 3rd water change after testing the parameters and here's what we got:
PH 8.2
Temp 77
Phosphate between 0 and 0.05
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0

The denitrifying bubbles stopped and the detrius on the sand stopped both about 2 weeks ago i think, but yesterday just noticed the bubbles coming back and another couple spots of detrius... i guess the cycle is not completely done although my water chem seems to be in a good place. I still haven't picked up a calcium tester - but will be purchased next time i swing by J&L.
I've added another coral piece, though once again the name has slipped my mind... becoming a bad habbit i know, but i'll get there

Here's the newest pics... oh and I just got a new samsung galaxy s3 and the camera seems to be real impressive, these are almost on par with my DSLR.

Enjoy!


here's the new one... any help with an ID would be great. Its tips look very much like my flower pot, but it doesn't stretch nearly as far out
