I was wondering if I could get any opinions on what is going on with my new saltwater setup. Here is what I've done so far. I added "cured" live rock on about day three after I had mixed my salt and had everything running for a little while. I also added live sand at the same time. I have gotten through the brown algae stage and am starting to see like a green seaweed algae produce on my rocks. In the bank of the tank I am seeing a lot of what I believe is "die-off" from the rocks. It is brown and looks as if it has just crumbled off the rock. So that's that, here is my problem.
I have been testing everything from Ammonia, Nitrites, pH, General Hardness and Nitrates since about day 5. I am getting readings of 0 on everything everytime. What should I do? Keep waiting or add something to the tank? Also I have been adding bacteria to the tank once a week as directed. It is Microbe-lift I believe. No other chemicals have been added and I have not done any water changes. Any help would be appreciated.
