Good day mga kaalat!

Day 3 ng cycling:

May manipis na film na nakapalibot sa isang live rock, ano to? At may maliit na nakadikit sa may salamin, ano naman to? tama ba ginagawa ko? ano ang pwede kong gawin dito? HELP!

1st pic looks like a sponge
2nd pic looks like some kind of snail...pero might be some kind of nudi

1st pic looks like bacterial mat
2nd pic looks like a chiton or limpet or small snail

Thanks for the replies sc0lex and kenn

But what does this mean for my live rock? should i just brush them off?

Day 4:

It means you're having some die off on your rock. It will go away eventually if your tank has enough flow. I would monitor my ammonia and keep it below 1, but that's just me. Others would just leave it be and wait for the cycle to end.

hi piggyback,

sorry i know you didn't ask for this advice but i think your sand is too course...it will accumulate detritus and what not and for a small tank it may cause things to get bad, fast. unless you are really really good at sand bed maintenance i suggest sir you change it to finer sand. its easier to do this while tank still isn't inhabited by your desired livestock so that's why i am saying this now.

just my suggestion..
