So sorry to hear this. I think a 50g water change will certainly help. It's hard to believe that purple up was the cause of this. People use purple...
you said you set it up with RO water? If so you will want to remineralize that water before you put fish in it. Something like seachem equilibrium to...
bristle worms and pods will multiply and spread to the other rock, and maybe even some sessile inverts like feather dusters. Sponges tend to spread...

I always take the sponge out of my pumps so they cant get clogged.
limpet or stomatella?
2 reef breeders value fixtures or 1 reefbreeders photon 32 would cover your tank well. I have the photon 32 and love it.
Hmm. i have always heard that freshwater feeders should NOT be fed to saltwater predators becuase of the fat ratio and nutritional value is...
