Cool . Just some food for thought tho that is a nice stand you have there you may want to put a plexi top on it to protect it from dripped water

hey every1! bought 3 lb of LR kuz i coudnt wait till tuesday! When i got home i realized that on one of the small pieces they gave me it had a small coral on it. Small but very noticable. HEHE i guess they did not notice... any one distinguish it for me? thank you..

the 15 lb of the fiji i ordered should be getting here tuesday.. i will test the water tommorow!

A closer pic would help...looks like it could be Xenia. i do not expect it to last the cycling process.

 

[christy1430]

you dont think it will... should i transfer it to my brothers 55 gallon tank? then move it back to mine after the cycle?

 

[lando]

I am 100% certain it will not survive the cycle. Finding a new home is the best way to proceed. During your cycle, it is best to concentrate on that alone. Attempting to control water parameters for the sake of livestock will prolong your cycle a lot will not help ensure a good hard cycle in the end.

Thank u lando I will get that rock out of the tank and re acclimate it in my brothers 55 gallong tank. Any suggestions on how I should do this. I do not want it to die I really like it

[christy1430]

thank you alot.. even thow i didnt pay much for that maybe less than 6 dollars.. i still think it would be a great addition to the tank in the future i am now acclimating it in my brothers tank i will test the waters now in my tank while i let it acclimate!

That's a sharp looking tank so far. I like your hitchhiker. Hope it lasts in your bro's 55 until you can put it back.

 

[christy1430]

[christy1430]

Got the live rock today!!!

[roka64]

I like thaose rocks and the aquascape.

 

[christy1430]

Thank you, the rocks that came in weere awesome.... I don't really like the aquascape I might end up changing it around I will test the waters maybe see the amonia going up or down and add some fish over the weekend if everything is back to normall : )

 

[Devilishturtles]

I think it looks sharp the way it is.

 

[christy1430]
