Nothing showing yet, but I will keep everyone posted on it. Company seems legit and very friendly. Considering only coralline would come from them as I cooked all my rock on purpose.
Thanks everyone for coming along for my Journey.

Update: 08-06-18 Tank is still running nicely, getting some nuisance algae (expected on a new tank) but been doing big water changes 50-100 gallons at a time. Both the Tang and the Parrotfish are eating like crazy.

I'd be interested to know whether your quoyi parrot damages the acrylic or not? I've avoided one in my tank for that reason.

8-8-2018 Update-
Blue Reef Chromis
(Chromis cyaneus) added-
Picked up 4 on Monday 8-6-18 Local fish store had them for a couple weeks(Bought 4 of the largest they had). The other damsels did well with the introduction. Decided to purchase 3 more the next day to make a nice school. Seems to be doing good and schooling nicely.

Update - 6-23-18
Did a 75 gallon water change. Then added some rubble that Arc Reef sent and added 4 more bottles for a total of 6. 3 of the purple helix and 3 of the pink helix.
Cool 08-17-18
Update - it’s about the two month mark. I have not added any live rock. So I am a fan of the purple helix products for sure.
looks like the coralline is blasting off all of a sudden.

Would love to get some opinions but take a gander at these pictures. Looks like the coralline algae product I added is taking off.
