8 days in, I have a sponge!
Tank was filled and started last Saturday.
Live rock had been cooked by a pump that burned out about a month and a half ago... water was 140 degrees when I found it in the morning. Kept fresh saltwater on the rock with a good pump since with weekly water changes. Tank cycled within 2 days... 0 ammo, 0 trites, and 10 nitrate. Put the lights up temporarily while I was finishing the canopy. 12 hours actinic, 8 hours 10,000K and 8 hours LED moonlights. Friday I noticed Coralline growing on the rock, and this morning there is a sponge!

The sponge is very cool, but I'd be even more excited about coraline growth that fast.
