    From what I recall when I ordered (mind you I ordered a bunch from them) I got my shipping for free with either a code or by spending X amount of dollars.

    i was looking through images on google to try to find something that looked like it, and i think it's a young type of microalgae which is a good sign that my cycling process is almost over

    i'm not sure, but i think most of it may end up dying off, not positive though, once i get corals probably wont even notice it, if it lasts

    That means its time to start running the skimmer and have you been doing water changes?

    For my skimmer I need to get ahold of a air valve since it didn't come with one. And I haven't done any w.c's yet, only top offs

    I would say to start with both then wait another week then test and see where you are at and you may be ready to start stocking.

    It's crazy how much the rocks have changed, oh and these are just a bunch of random shots, nothin special, just the progess of the tank.
