| True enough and quite smart of you to look at it like that. I try to do the same thing and just bear it knowing it's an inevitable phase.

| the places on my rock that aren't dominated by diatoms, are starting to look very purple, I'm not sure if it's coraline forming or if it's the actinic. Either way it's purple and pretty so I don't care lol. | |

| I'd guess that you got cured rock and that is the explanation. I seriously doubt that Cycle was of any benefit to you, JMO.
Don't know if I mentioned this before, but IMO a 75g is too small for a hippo tang. Just a thought.

I've seen a few in pet stores that like to wedge themselves in between live rock. I've read they like to hide a lot. Doesn't seem like they need a huge tank to feel secure and have lots of hiding places. | |

I'm thinking I should add the chromis first, Even though the tank is "cycled..." I'm not just super comfortable with it. | I would go with the chromis first as well and try to add them in odd numbers (JMO). My first fish was a blue/green chromis and thats what I was told to do by my LFS - he's now doing great!
