Cycling with Live rock

okay ammonia 0, nitrite is now 0 nitrate is 10ppm

I was under the impression that I should do a 50% wc..I am waiting for the ro/di unit so I can mix new water my pH is 8.2 salinity meter shows 1.021-1.022

I plan on adding tank bred Percular clowns and ma researching compatible species.(suggestions appreciated).I am also looking at adding soft corals..some easy beginner with some color.that tolerate around 2 wpg.
light is compact flo 2 65 w 50/50 and 2 65 w actinic blue fixture also has moonlights.

I have some of that red/purple stuff that forms on the tank forming and some green algae some of the live rock.
looking for that spider like thing(no luck) I found feather duster worms.(small ones and some tiny tentacles with little fingers on the ends..these are tiny almost thread like spread out sparsely on what appears to be coral the was in the live rock..looking for pictures as these are too small to take pictures of

thanks I'll bump it up

I think it may be a sea spider..but I haven't seen it in several days.

if I catch it I'm going to get rid of it..
 
sort of..but black..it looked like a land spider(what i could see)it was very fast.and had a small abdomen.I spent about an hour looking for it..but with 120l b of live rock..it has a ton of places to hide.

it hasn't been seen on the rock for several days.
 
yeah...LOL
that's what I said when I first saw it..

any way it scares the bejeebus out of me so I figure it's scarey looking for a reason..and it's fast for a couple reasons..first..strike speed comes to mind..second has to be fast so as not to become food.
 
Ok i must say i LOVE patient people and the people that will do research on things before buying it. WOW i honestly give Star_Rider some good credit here. Keep up the good work and i believe this tank of yours will look great in some time.
