    Thanks mission!

    I just can't believe that this rock is the same rock that was covered with SOOO much macroalgae before.

    It looks much better now IMO.... The aquascape ideas are looking nice also.

    Thanks. I'll be tweaking my idea here a lot when I actually build it in the tank. I want a lot of depth to it with a fair number of overhangs, etc.

    Rock and Sand Are In

    This past weekend I completed getting the rock and sand put in the tank. I had quite a sandstorm because of a powerhead that was turned on and pointed straight down at the sand (I couldn’t see that this had happened until the sand had cleared up a bit a couple of days later.) Now, everything is clear.

    I need to fine tune the salinity, then I’ll be adding a couple of blue-green chromis to get the cycle started in a few days. I’ll probably also add a nice piece of live rock to seed all this rock that I bleached.

    Set up looks great. You can help get the bacteria started with about 2 cup of LS from a mature system.

    Be careful to look at the tank good and make sure he is not giving you something you don't want. Some LFS's are good and some are not.
