However, I have seen little white "bugs" crawling around on the rock. Not sure what they are, any ideas??? I have noticed that more "life" is popping up on the rock. I think they're called "feather dusters". I have seen about 3 new ones since I put the rock in a week ago. I am waiting for one more piece of "once live rock" then I will arrange the stuff the way I want it. I have not noticed any spikes in any of the tests. How long does it take for something like that to happen? Does it have to happen at all??? Also, lighting... II was told 4 Watts per gallon! That's a lot of light. right now I have app. 75 Watts. Do I really need all that additional lighting??? _________ 65 gallon reef tank. 20 gallon homemade refugium. homemade hood w/ 2x250 MH lights. 150 lbs live rock, 40 lbs live sand. Yellow tang, pair of clowns, 6 line wrasse, coral beauty, engineer goby, pair of pajama cardinals. House guests gone! It's a beauty, but it's too small...
