Hello everyone this is my first post on this forum, seemed like the nicest one out there.
My name is Cory and i Hope to get to know everyone well over all my projects!
All formalities aside i have my first issue for you guys.
Prior to the problem ill describe my setup.
I have a 30gallon saltwater setup running.
I will keep adding to it and progressing as money comes in :) well all know that feeling.
As it stands now, water parameters are almost perfect, its been running for 3-4 weeks now with 20-25lbs of live sand, and i only have 10lbs or so of live rock. Ill be adding more as soon as i get the cash like i said. hydrometer is on point, im sure im still building my bio-profile as we speak. I have about 4 blue leg hermits in there left over from my fluval edge nano reef.
I am running two hanging filtration systems equaling around 450GPH flow.
planning on adding a fan(for current) soon.
Other than that i am running a 7K and a 10K 25w lamps
Not super detailed, but im fairly busy today, if more specific details of my setup are required to answer questions or give advice lemme know and i will get that info for you.
Now to my first question!
I am running my tank until i know things are perfect before i put any coral or fish into the tank and i know that will be awhile.
However i have a rust colored organism growing in my tank! and i dont know what it is, what the cause is, or how to resolve it. I cleaned it very well after i took pictures today so it looks fine now, but i want the niche to be self-sufficient almost!
