Okay. We set up our 75 gallon tank with 80 lbs of live rock on Jan 1st. The rock was pre-cured and covered with beautiful purple coralline algae. We went through a very minor cycle, and it has been stable for about 6 weeks with no ammonia, nitrite, or nitrates. We haven't added any fish yet because we're trying to be safe and put all fish through a 3 week quarantine before adding to the main tank. (We're still working out the bugs on quarantine.) We do have hermits, snails, & copepods.
Anyway... I've noticed that our beautiful coralline is fading! For now we're just using the lights our Oceanic tank came with. I'm using Red Sea salt, and no supplements. I don't have a calcium test, because I was told that in the early stages the aragonite sand should provide plenty. Any ideas on what I need to look at?
Thanks.
