Well things are happening. Lots of caulerpa mexicana and prolifera in the tank now. Also some other as yet unidentified species. I'm taking a big hit with brown diatoms. I kind of expected this due to the sudden loss of bioload after removing so many corals. I still have too much live rock to really fill up with macros and vasculars.

It seems that a lot of sea grasses are not available this time of year. I found one supplier who has shoal grass. It looks kind of delicate for winter shipping. There's also widgeon grass. This looks quite interesting as it could also have potential in my brackish tank. What kind of water turnover would be a good number to aim for?
