Just getting back into the hobby after a few years away. Decided to start with a Red Sea 130d. So far, I am loving it. Its been running with the rock in it for about 3weeks now. Cycling using live rock only. Had 2 diatom blooms.
I started the clean up crew a couple days ago with 10 blue legs, 5 Astrea, and 1 peppermint. I got the peppermint because one of the rocks had Aiptasia on it. The next day, there was none to be seen. He wasted no time with that.
Well here are some pics from the beginning till now.
