Here is a picture of the barren underwater wasteland... coraline algae looks to have survived, I added some nite out just to make sure my nitrifying bacteria populations are there, nitrates were high and I had .05 ammonia yesterday after stirring up all that crap in the sump and such.

Just as a life test (also was getting pretty depressed not having ANY life in the tank) so I bought this small rock that had bristle starfish and a bristle worm in it, I also got a little canister of pods, they are all swarming the tank

Also got this little rock that was covered in coralline algae just to make sure I have some in there growing.
