Tank is clearing out nicely overnight. Skimmer pulled about 1/4 cup of wet skim. My wife and daughter busted a decent sized gorilla crab (1-1.5" shell) and it was banished to the sump for now (I'll feed it the whelks lol).
Conditions as of this AM are
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate ~3 (it was between 2-5 on the Red Sea kit)
I'm really impressed with the the fact that two ammonia tests ~12 hours apart since putting the first load in there have registered zero. Nice!
Watched the barnacles feed this AM. Pretty cool... hopefully they last a while. May feed a little if the ammonia stays down.
I've got to learn to take some not blue pictures of the tank here. My light does have 4 Blue+ bulbs but it is not this blue to the eye
