    Yes it is,i wouldn't have bought what i did today without having someplace safe to put it.It's nothing fancy,but it'll suport them until my cycles done.I might go ahead and throw the damsel in the cube to get things moving a little sooner,i'm not in a hurry,but i am!! lol!I will still wait the cycle all the way out.

    After adding a oc. clown and the blue velvet damsel last week and monitoring params,everything stayed looking good with 5ppm nitrate,went ahead and added my firefish and six line along with my starting corals today,got the skimmer staightened out and working good,it's allready pulling some good looking skimmate out,a little watery but nice and dark in color.Not bad for an airstone skimmer.The coral added is mostly all nutrient comsuming coral,so not to worried about the nitrates.But will monitor,also did a 4 gallon wc yesterday and haven't tested today.But anyhow heres some picks of where it's at now.Also forgot to mention the addition of a cuc from rc's 4 days ago,which was just a small snail quick crew special,but a med sized blue leg hermit snuck in one of the bags and survived the trip,so i'll let him stay as well.Hope you all like it so far.

    Haha. Ouch on the drive there. Some of the stores around here can be guilty of the same thing. Petworlds live rock tanks have literally hundreds and hundreds of aiptasia. But if you ask about it they say its fine and no big deal... I beg to differ... lol not to mention the cheapest rock around here is 12.50 a pound.
