I was at my first frag swap tonight. I heard about it on Reef Central. My tank’s only been up for a week and a half, and I have more live rock coming on Wednesday, so I wasn’t going to buy anything. They had a raffle, and I didn’t even put my name in for the live stuff. But when I was leaving, I got talking to people about my tank and they started giving me stuff. By the time I left, I had a small colony of pink button polyps (Zooanthus sp.) about the size of a 50 cent piece, a small orange Montipora digitata (an sps coral), and a quarter-sized piece of purple xenia (Xenia elongata). Pics forthcoming.
Parameters before adding livestock:
Ammonia – .25 (not sure about that, but that’s what it says)
Nitrite – 0
Nitrate – 5
I need to get a refractometer. And a calcium test.

SPS: small-polyped stony (hard coral)
