The tank has been up for a little over a month now and the parameters are looking good.

Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate are undetectable.
Specific Gravity (measured w/refractometer) 1.026
Temp 78-80

The diatom bloom came and went pretty quickly. What has been more persistent is the bryopsis

The only added life in the tank (aka non hitchhikers) are snails that I added as my beginning CUC.

Here are some pictures:





I will add more pictures and updates as additions and/or changes are made.
