Here are a few photos my new tank. I have a few questions.
Tank history: 135 gallon sump/fuge/skimmer/270 ls/100 lr.
Tank is cycling now. Amonia spiked at 4.0 and is now at .25. Nitrite is up to 5.0, nitrate up to 40 now. Ph steady at 8.0. SG 1.023 (Added salt to 3 gallons of top off water to start bringing this up). Cycling since 1-09-07.
Here are the photos and questions:
1. Things are getting hairy. What is this?
2. This branch is new and growing.
3.Tonga branch is getting pink spots. Good?
4. This crystal looking thing has grown. What is it?
Thanks for any help
