The green balls are Chaeto . ( basic refugium macro algae) The dark red or brown in the back is Agar or Red Gracilaria ( good for a refugium and acts as a food source for tangs and herbivores )

Added a few more pounds of live rock . That brings to total up to 75lbs dry rock and about 20lbs of live rock . So once everything is said and done im at 95lbs . Still needs about another 25-40 lbs ! Give or take .
GOT A HITCHHIKER ! On that last rock I bought. A lil Aiptasia, he may stay or go I have decided .
