    As promised, here's some pics of the new tank. The rock is from Tampa Bay Saltwater, and it has been in the tank for 1 week.

    it looks like you got some sponges i would especially watch the water parameters it may take a bit longer to cycle with them because when sponges are exposed to air it gets trapped inside and they will die off. eventuallly they will grow back though give them a while.

    sponges

    the 2nd might be some type of hydroid not sure

    hydroid


    and the third looks like sea squirts or tunicats they can come in almost any color there a filter feeder and harmless and can add some color to the tank

    Great shots Verbal and you wont be disappointed in that LR as mine is from the same region as yours. It will mature beautifully.

    It is pretty dense, so if you want a full reef, you may need to get a little more than what you are currently showing. Now would be the time as it wouldn't significantly increase you cycle time.

    Great pics and keep us posted.

    Yeah, this stuff is dense. That's half the rock the final tank will have. Tampa Bay Saltwater ships half of the rock (in my case, 75lbs.) first with the live sand. You cycle the tank, then they send you the other half of the rock (another 75lbs.) and some detritivores. So, in another two weeks or so I will be getting more rock. (They ship it underwater - hopefully some sponges will make it!)
    I'll keep you posted.
