Check out the recent pics in our 46 gallon thread to see the corals we have going in there. We can see noticable growth on both birdsnest already,...
I like that line for some reason...I may have to use it :D Welcome back
So wait, is that 50lbs added later live rock? Or more base? And techinically base rock doesn't become "fully" live until after about 6 months or...

We cycled our tank that quickly, or so. We used precured LFS live rock, straight from their display tank system. They cure and cycle their rock,...
I have been known to watch "Pitchmen" on Discovery a few times...and I learend alot more about BM than what you see in the infomercials. This sucks!...
