Should I leave my lights on to help the algae going? Or would that be a bad idea?
when I swapped to the 75 I had my snails and hermits without any algae. I dropped in crab cuisine every few days for them to feast on. As you know from us talking, my tank doesn't have any hair algae so I still drop a little crab cuisine every now and then, but my snails usually keep my glass clean from the green algae that comes up on the glass.
Excellent, thanks!
with the live rock i would slowly work from 4 hrs a day to 8-9 hrs total over two weeks
You're welcome.
I actually have a 29g reef for a year now and now I’m transferring everything to my new 75g setup!
I love it! Those colors are amazing!Glad to see that you are getting a lot of support from this community!

I am going to do the Pico that way and try it. It will be live rock anyway except one shelf.
In my experience, you should calibrate that refractometer every time you use it. With mine I found calibrating with RO/DI water worked just as well as using a homemade calibration solution.
Not yet. I need to get the rock first. By the end of next week, I hope to have it up and runninghi,are your elbows wet yet??? what no pics???
Agree. I calibrate every time. What no pics of the goodies. You know what @Katrina71 says pics or it never happened
