Hey Yall


So i have a friend who sent me 3 small pieces of live rock with coraline algae on it to help mine get some! so hoping it seeds, i also added 4 pieces of dry rock that she gave me/ i bought at the LFS!
So i done a water change added the rocks etc and then added some API bacteria which helps add more bacteria to your SW tank to break down ammonia etc, i also have prime, would the API help with the new base rock?

and the live rock she gave me too!

Also could someone ID this bristle worm for me? good or bad


my tanks coming along great! looking better now that i Aqua scaped!

I also moved my powerhead pointing up to help release gases?

little foggy from adding rock! but looks better, more base rock on its way!
 
Worm is called the bristle worm, good to the fact that they clean up pretty much everything you don't want in your tank.

How long again is this tank running?
And what are your test results as far in,
Ammonia,
Nitrite,
Nitrate,
PH,
CAL (for your coraline)
ALK (Coraline)

Hey! i havent checked my parameters yet! will do tomorrow, ive added some small pieces of live rock with coraline on them, i dose calcium weekly now its in the 400ppm range, nitrate and nitrite im sure is 0 and ph 7.9-8.2, and ammonia seems to be around 0.10-0.25ppm (my tap water is 0 ammonia) and no dead fish or anything from what i know off, beginning to think my live rock wasnt even live from the beginning and whatever bacteria has grown in it the last few months is trying to catch up so i havent added any new fish or anything for awhile, other than a blenny awhile ago, i got live sand , water changes done every so often, will be adding a protein skimmer to this tank soon, with better pumps, also added new base rock (4-5 pieces) and 3 pieces of live, which is small (3-4inches)
