    Did you add live rock or base rock. Live rock will have some dieoff that can smell pretty bad at first.

    Nice tank!

    It was dry fiji pukani from BRS, I cleaned it with the garden hose the best I could, But there seemed to be some sort of die off from the ocean im assuming. Really old stuff. Like dried up seaweed or something.

    The stink is long gone, Added a green chromi a while ago he's doin well. Added a couple crab's n snails, they are doin well too. Tested my water, everything looks good onlything left is nitrates is about 20. Figuring the cycle is nearing the end.

    Paid for a yellow watchmen, gonna take him home next weds if my water params stay stable.


    I'll take pictures tommorow when the lights come on.
