Waiting on Algae Barn to mail my pod colony, phyto, chaeto, and marine pure for the fuge (should come Tuesday or Wednesday I think).
In the meantime putting up some pretty wild nitrate #s (80ppm?). Hopefully the chaeto and the skimmer I just got running will help get that under control before I put my cleanup crew in there.
