New to reef tanks

Hello everyone,

I am new to reef tanks and have purchased a 36 Gallon tank. I put all the rocks (3 dry rocks, and 4 live rocks) from my local store. I set the tank up and got the salt correct and a few weeks later I purchased two tomato clown fish and some snails. I bought a reef test kit and when I tested the water the calcium was at a good level but my dKH was extremely low. Is this because the tank is new or do I need to do something different?

Thanks.

Happy Sunday morning

Good morning folks, and ......HAPPY SUNDAY! Brother just left from our Sinday morning coffee, so there's plenty of Dunkin Doughnuts to go with our coffee and pink milk. Gota move towards getting ready for church, but seems to be a giant BLANK on the scope afterwards.....WOW! An opportunity waiting for an adventure....no idea what yet, but confidence is high we'll figure out something to plug that hole with. Winter temps have creeped in....40's for highs, and dipping into the 20's, and even the teen's at night...Brrrrrrr. Hope all are well, and cozy,
Hack

Red Worm on live rock question *picture*

I recently purchased 3 live rocks. On my smallest piece, I noticed a red, almost fuzzy, worm. Its super tiny and moves fast. Should I be concerned about this? If so, what should I do about it?

50g tank with 1 blackfoot clownfish, 1 porcelain crab, 3 dwarf hermits, 1 scooter blenny and 1 damselfish. 3 pieces of live rock total.

Any help is appreciated, I've heard bad things about these red worms.

Thanks!

What is this on my puffer fish?

My Fiji blue dot puffer has a white line that looks like a check mark on the side of it's face, this just appeared today. It seems normal otherwise, its eating and swimming. It has had what looks like an abrasion on its side for a couple weeks that has not gone away and now this white line. The white line does not appear fuzzy like ich or velvet. Any idea what this is? Photo attached. Thanks.
