Initial tank setup resulted in a sandstorm that lasted for days.
Live Rock is in place, now we wait:
Day 13: Sandbed is starting to work, rocks are coming to life, algae is starting to bloom
Day 17: Algae bloom is in full effect.
Day 25: Algae taking a life of its own, sandbed working nicely
Day 32: Algae gone wild and a couple of critters...
Day 66: Algae Hell, Clowns, Polyps
Day 73: Algae fight continues.
I also added cheato in a soapdish as a mini refugium. The first picture is day 69, the second is today. Look at the growth in just 4 days.
Day 86: Algae Better, New Yellow Coris, Polyps
Day 101: Algae Better, New Frogspawn, Polyps mounted
Day 108: Xenia, Zoas, Firefish, things are looking better.
Day 118: 2 weeks since last water change, algae losing battle.
Day 126: Just before water change
Day 425: Most contents moved to 90G, RSM is now an Eel tank.
