Thanks for the welcome.
Here is my tank so far:
75 Gallon Bow front
Hang on the back skimmer / refugium
2 powerheads
Heater
Emperor 400 filter with filter media in it, no bio wheels.
Tank is around 4 weeks old. Sand and 3 of the rocks came from an active tank, the rest of the rock is old coral from a tank I had almost 10 years ago. Rock has been sitting in my shed for several years sealed in a tub.
There were tons of hitchhikers on the rock from the active tank as well as 6 button polyps. Now there are like 15 polyps, feather dusters, and some Astra star's. Also started seeing some type of "pods" in the tank. About a week ago I added a small cleanup crew, 10 red legs and 6 large Astra Snails. I also have a yellow tail damsel swimming around, but he is going to oddballs when I add my first real fish in a few weeks.
Plan on waiting another 2 or 3 weeks and adding a frogspawn or something similar.
Thoughts or suggestions?
