Good day to all,
I started my reef on April 11, 2012. This is new to me, as well as posting on forums. Please excuse if not using proper etiquette. It was easier before the computer age, if you got stumped in the middle of a DIY project, you just went to the nearest tavern ordered a beer and before you know it you would have several experts, (all with different opinions) on the subject. I have had a few questions, and the team experts on Reef Sanctuary has answered very professionally; much better than those so called experts that sat on the bar stools so many years ago. Unfortunately the advice received is generally, “you should not have done that, you should have done this.” My thoughts are to post a picture and a short description of what I’m planning on doing within the next day or so. I hope that someone will reply with, yea that’s what I would do, or don’t do that, and here’s the reason why, instead do this. Hopefully this approach may prevent me from creating a disaster. The first picture of my tank, not sure about the rockscape, kind of boxy. My main concerns were lots of caves and good flow behind rocks. Second picture is of my rock and substrate starting to get what I think is a diatom bloom. Please let me know if it is something different, or to be concerned about.
My thanks to all of you that have helped me; I’m sure that I will need much more advice in the coming months ahead.
