Long time freshwater guy starting my first salt tank. Just started the cycle yesterday. Hopefully I’ll have more lively pics here in a few weeks.

Off to a great start. Don’t rush it and you’ll be golden!

Looks clean! Coralline pop is a good sign already.

There's no way a tank that's one day old can have coralline, unless live rock with it already in it was added. That's just slightly reddish epoxy.

Ah, good catch! I zoomed in too quick and missed the epoxy vibes. Rookie mistake! Thanks for the heads up

Unfortunately coralline needs very stable parameters; from my experience working in an LFS, it usually appears around the 1-year mark in the tanks here.

Yay! Me too!! I’m two weeks into my Hello Reef set up- waiting is the hardest part, for realz

Love your rock layout!

Thanks! I don’t know what I’m doing. 😂

Hahahaha I hear ya! I have the Hello Reef system too and I loved how they walked u thru everything.

Nice aquascape 🪸

Thanks! Must be beginners luck! 😂
