Reefing newb
My new 46G bow has been running for approx. 96hrs now. I ran the lights for the first 24hrs straight, now have them only on a few hours a day. I've noticed my live rock go from black/brown rock colour to having a lot of white on it, and some purples, copper looking colours as well. I think I may have some plant growth too, but nothing I can see crawling around.
My first water readings are as follows:
PH 8.4, Amonia/Nitrate/Nitrite 0ppm, salinity 1.024
I think this is good? Anything I should be concerned with? I need to add some water to reduce the salinity a bit, and top off the tank.
Should I use the glass cover? Obviously it will keep the fish in the tank, but I thought I heard it was bad for lighting? (Lights are 2xT5 HO 39w)
