Hello, all
Been lurking a while and have translated the collected knowledge into a new BC 29 setup. Apparently my existing hobbies weren't taking enough cash out of my pocket.
I've been up and running about two weeks now with the live rock. I have yet to see an ammonia spike(unless it happened within a short time period and I missed it when I was out of town), and all other basic water issues seem to be in order. I'm thinking of getting the Sapphire Protein skimmer, which I've been hearing good things about. Has anyone incorporated LRRubble along with the skimmer in the back chambers? Or is that overkill?
The first picture was taken two days ago, and I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. I assume it's a weed of some kind because there are little ones sprouting in the substrate, but have not been able to identify it on any of the various web sites out there. Any advice would be appreciated.
Also included is a pic of one of my other growth areas. Plenty of bright green and purple grass/hair. Is it time for a cleanup crew to take care of this mess, or is it too soon to be adding critters to a new tank?
I can take more detailed pictures if it will help; I just don't want to use too much space until I figure out the way stuff works around here.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
