DEFINATLY!! since i just took everything out i am letting everything setlle and then will be purchasing about 30 lbs more to fill it to the top with a nice aquascape!
 
haha thank you i promise to do one everyweek!! UNLIKE LAST TIME! lol if i do this consistently how long do you think it usually takes to start seeing that purple show up in the rocks ? sounds like a noob question just wondering
 
Coralline needs to be seeded in the tank. Does any of your existing LR have any coralline on it? If so you`ll be OK if not then you`ll need to get a piece of LR with some on it. You calcium, alk and Magnesium parameters need to be up to snuff for coralline to grow good. Also be careful what you wish for LOL because once it starts growing it will cover everything including tank ,LR and equipment.
 
hahahah we will see .. my lr currently may have alittle but i will definatly purchase some LR with it growing on it already THanks a mil! i will keep every1 posted!€
 
Well today i went to the LFS and im not going to lie im pretty shure the lady liked me lol. she sold me some cured Fiji with coraline LR for 5 rather than the 7.99 theyre supposed to charge. so i got 15lbs of lr for my tank. im posting updated pics of ym new aquascape! let me no what you guys think!

im going to test my waters now in a little bit. does anyone no the good settings to take pictures of your tank? i have a canon power shot sx100is with 8 mega pixels i just dont no the settings? help plz
 
amonia: 0 ppm
pH: 8.0
nitrates: 50 ppm ?????
nitrites: 0 ppm

not shure what high nitrates means?!?!
 
haha! no worries thanks for the input! any suggestions with the tank? just need a little more LR and then corals!!
 
just did my 1st PWC ill test the waters in a little and post the results let me no what you think!
 
I would probably suggest doing a few large water changes to help get those nitrates down and then go back to the 5 gal changes melosu suggested. Maybe 1/3 water volume. do two or three of those.

Also if you have a sump you should do a little reading on a refugium. It will help keep your nitrates down as well as several other benefits. Will help you out a bunch once you get some corals which will be a little more picky about your water quality.
