Heading to Los Angeles soon, hoping to bring back some more coral additions!
So other random shots: Canary Blasto [IMG] Learned a BIG lesson from buying this Favia. When buying online, I've always known to stay away from...
I was kind of surprised at how fast it cycled, I was expecting it to take longer but it took about 6 weeks using only two supermarket frozen shrimp....
................And now the ugliness sets in. Cycle is starting to peak, this is at about 3 weeks or so. [IMG]
FTS of it cleared up, about a week or two in. You can see I added of piece of actual LR to help with the cycle and add some diversity. [IMG]
Water now cleared up a little, looks pretty good for now! Atleast until the cyce kicks in.......... [IMG]
Finally! I didn't think I could ever be so patient! I've always wanted to setup a cube-style aquarium, and after a 6 year break from the hobby to...
How long have you been using it un-calibrated?
For me, I used rods and epoxy......pretty cheap IMO. $12 in epoxy and $3 for a fiberglass rod and I was able to scape my rocks exactly how I wanted,...
Brains (trachys and lobos), candy canes, and any of the softies are also good places to start.

I know.....sigh..... And it didn't help going to the LFS yesterday. Atleast I'm patient enough to not have come home with something. Ill give...
You know, I've been really patient up to this point: - I bought the exact tank I wanted - I took the time and rod/epoxied my rocks...
Right on, thanks a bunch!
How will that affect the cycle though? Im reading about 1.0 on the ammonia, and nitrites are definitely coming up (color blind = hard to...
So when I set up my tanks in the past, I always used LR, never really had to deal with the initial cycling. This time around, I'm using 2...
Have about 10'ish to 15'ish pounds of dry rock left over, have my tank all set up and its just sitting around. Was wondering if anyone would be...
