Or just get a big ol scoop of sand from a friends established tank, or a few pieces of rock to put in the overflow in the sump. That will help spread the bacteria colonies across the rest of the, what is now, base rock your trying to re-cure. No it will never be as good for say denitrification...

yeah you can, do it from the listing in "MyEbay". Ill send yah 50 for it shipped to 36695, your cheapest route, thanks! PM your paypal, thanks

Correct, the "live" part of Live Rock comes formt he benificial bacteria that either is on the rock naturally or from when we cycle and it goes on the rock, again naturally, just man feed ammonia, not naturally out in the sea. It does NOT refer to the living critters on the rock. Half the time...

Id like to see the light on please, thanks. Does it come with legs?

just end the auction man. it lets you have the fees back.

I would personally boil the rock. Then start over with a tank and cycle with shrimp for a month or 2 until you can add 2 whole shrimps to a 55g and get 0 ammonia in 1 week. At that point, you can use/sell the live rock as it once was before.

I may have one here in a few days, ill keep you in mind. believe it is 1200gph

Pics for light please? How much for shipping to 36695? Thanks!

Ok, its been a while since ive updated this thread, so here goes. I decided to go full mixed reef on my 55 gal setup. I bought a TEK 4x 54w T5 setup. Blue+,6500K, 75/25, Aquablue. It looks great! Got the 4" argonite sandbed down and overflow in place. Im still hunting power heads though...

I dont have that many fish in the anymore. I did the water change out yesterday. I acclimated them to the new pH for about 1 hour. They all lost all thier colors for about an hour after. After then they started acting ok and gained thier color back. pH is around 7.8 or so, so i feel beter...

actually. my fiance wants to have brackish water and hold black mollies etc in there... im going to get the tank cycled with reg water as i spoke before and the tetras. After its cycled, can i manipulate the water and take the tetras out and replace with the mollies etc? follow me? is this...

Ok, well its been a while now and my ammonia is still getting to 4+ppm if i let it. Ill have to do a change every week to keep it down. I stil havent gotten ANY nitrites except one time about 3 weeks ago @ about 2ppm. Since then i havent, straight 0 on the tests everytime and my pH is still 6.0...

Whats your addy so i can email you. I would liek to get some pics of your sump so i can get an idea of how im goign to set mine up. I have a 55 gal tank and it looks like your sump would actually fit in my stand.. i want to use a 20 long, but i cannot fit that under the stand. Thanks!

Good point. /puts away plant food

Ill have to get back to you on that. Not sure of the exacts, alot of plants online look similar, but i would have to go to the LFS to see what they suggested and i picked...
