Yea, looks about right. Just let it burn itself out, and you're good to go.

U gotta give it time - it's a brand new system. U need to burn through the excess nutrient load. Harvesting the green speeds the process. Then it just crashes - almost as quickly as it comes. When that happens, it's coral time!
DJ
looks like you're off to a good start. as soon as you can ditch the hydrometer and go with a refractometer, though.
Hopefully sooner rather then later!looks like it's coming along![]()
Ditto.
Beautiful rock
Killer. Start checking for flecks of coralline growth on the rocks. That's the real test to know you're good to go for corals.
Thanks DJ, I do see some purple spots on my rocks. I hope to get some corals in there by the ned of next month along with the first Shrimp.

Looks good. Don't know exactly what type of hermit he is, but if your hair comes back, look for a completely albino mini hermit, whether it be at your LFS, or online. I have one and the crab AND shell together are about the size of a standard small marble. He has had his butt parked on the same rock for 4 days, just chowing down on my one little clump of hair(might even be bryopsis). Hasn't moved in 4 days, and he is BLASTING that algae.
