    Looking Awesome!!!

    I've set up a 90 and a 125 with fish, corals, other inverts in less than 8 hours before. The key is that my fully cured rock was never out of the water for more than 5 minutes. I would never get an Ammonia reading so I was never going to generate any Nitrites or Nitrates either.

    Actually, it was better this way. If I had waited a month and didn't feed the tank anything to rot, I would actually have LESS bacteria. Some of them would go into stasis and other bacteria would die from lack of food (Ie....Ammonia)

    Thanks for the compliment... Thats pretty much what I did with the rock.. So far so good.. My temp was down today mostly due to it being -25 with the wind chill so my heater is working overtime... What are you guys and gals suggestions for a good heater??? I am using a visitherm stealth now, and have a hydor theo also...

    Yep, its kinda a bummer seeing those small frags from the big pieces I traded, but it saved me a ton of money in live rock.... I laugh at how much room I have... big difference from my 5.5...
