Rock work looks really good. Only a fellow reefer an appreciate 30 pounds of gnarly rock piled up in a tank.. Are you planning on keeping the damsels for the long haul ?

+1 on the great start! Good to hear you got your money back on the con job by AquaCON - what a ripoff on the rock amount! I'm surprised that place is still in business.

No... when ammonia at zero & nitrites are at zero & the nitrates soar... then start water changes - 1st one 30%, followed by 10-15% weekly.

PS - with the ammonia at that level, I take the fish back to lfs now, he not needed in the tank, some use them to kick off cycle, many die, a raw deli shrimp do the same...

+1 - You don't really need the damsels to cycle the tank. They might make for more trouble than they are worth. The live rock tends to be able to start the cycle process from all the die off.

Good luck.

Ammonia dropped to zero after three days! Last night I heard a popping nose in my tank and noticed something sticking out of the rocks, I'm guessing its either a pistol or mantis shrimp. Also the picture below is a red/purple thing I'm not too sure what it is. Does anyone know?

Might be a red sponge - does it move? Does it change shape at all with the lights on or off? Is that a hole in the center of it?

Congrats on the ammonia being zero!

yea it looks like a mouth, sometimes it's open and sometimes it's closed. I googled it and I'm convinced it's a sponge.
