PH: 8.3
Ammonia .25 (My 2nd sally light foot died today...
No idea why)
Trites: 0
Trates: 20 (Was around 40, but I did a small water change on Friday. Going to do another small one tomorrow I think.)
Ca: 380
Pho: .5 (From starting my tank with tap water. Again water changes will fix this.
So far in the tank I have:
2 happy and hungry false perculas
1 sally light foot
1 Xenia
1 Hammer
2 frags of Zoa's (Green)
2 Serpent stars
8-12 colonies of cup coral
10 snails
10+ Clams

Have any of your barnacles survived? I have the same exact Live rock. Few of mine are still alive after 2 weeks of cycle.
Yeah a few did but now one two of them, there is like a circle of red algae growing over them... like the size of a pea, and just over thier mouth. Not sure what I should do, remove it or let it be? Can't find any info on it either.
