update
Just a quick update, for those that may be interested. I did go ahead and add 5 astrea snails to the tank (one didnt survive, lasted 12 hours) and one Zebra Crab that was given to me. The snails are devouring the brown algae, cleaning up the LR very nice and I am seeing the coraline coming back. Im keeping up on water changes (stocked up on salt during boxing day sales) and things are looking alot better now. I was pretty pumped to see the coraline. I have got 30 more pounds of LR curing in a rubbermaid container. One other question though. When I got this tank, the person before me had used a plenum in the refugium with 4 inches of live sand on top. I left it as is because I was excited to get the tank cycling and now Im second guessing my decision after reading up on it. Does anyone have any opinions on Plenums or using just a DSB. Also, where could one pick up some cheato? Do they sell it at any of the LFS in Calgary?
