I haven't had time to hook up the photo bucket due to reading every thread I can on here. Got up this Morning and found that I was getting the brown Diatoms on the live rock, spread pretty quickly, wasn't very prominent last night, but now covers a bunch of it.

specs on the tanks on the 10th were
ph:8
ammo:2
nitrite:2
nitrate:10
Salinity:1.025

will test again when I wake up, hopefully time for a water change and a CUC in the next couple of days.

need to search for a RO/DI in the morning as well.

thinking about being sneaky and getting a small ottoman with a lid to hide a ATO bucket or some such.

I like the concept of buying stuff online but I have and issue with waiting for stuff if I don't have to.

Default some photos

Went shopping, made the mistake of going to Costco to look for an RO machine... only available online. Didn't realize it was Saturday at the time until I pulled into the parking lot and walked the two miles from my parking space. Never doing that again. I guess I will order a rodi from somewhere that being the case. all the stores that sell just the ro machines charge way too much not too.
Picked up a rough n ready can, some extra 5 gallons and a small power head in preparation for the first water change. forgot to get a extra heater

Diatoms spread a bit more today, will have to test water tomorrow as it is nap time before work.

Here are some pics. Might have to redo the scaping of the rocks as a couple aren't quite on as solid footing as I would like.
