It's been up for about 6-8 weeks SG: 1.023, pH: 8.1.
Other levels 0 or negligible. Started brown algae about 5 weeks ago, green algae about a week after the brown started, so the good green stuff has been growing about 4 weeks so far. Small patches on the rocks here and there.

That would be MOST cool. I'll have beer on ice, and food for the belly - let me know the preferences for both!

Some corals here and there. Got a couple Xenia's Friday, some zoo's, couple mushrooms on rocks, and a green-highlighted flat open brain coral of some sort. Don;t know the name. Looks like someone dropped some fluorescent green paint here and there on it, if that can describe the coloring.
Everything is pretty much healthy, and eating. Switching around the food, ie, Mysis and brine shrimp, some Formula 2 algae balls, marine flakes, seaweed on veggie clips, etc..
But, I do think it's too soon for the corals, but my wife insisted on trying. However, I didn;t spend much, foreseeing failure. She REALLY loves the Xenia's and their opening/closing looking like hands waving!
If I start to see them go South, is it possible to transfer them to someone else's tank for safekeeping? Any volunteers nearby?
I'll try to put up a pic tomorrow
