Hey all thanks for the advice, the rock is drying now. I DIDN'T MEAN TO START ANYTHING HERE!!!  Rock is bright white, but I am a patient man and for the small price I paid for it, it's worth the time. Ogle and Otty... if you have time i'd like to check out scott's tank this weekend (and eat  )... let me know. Here is another question... I put in 43 lbs. live rock to start the cycle, the rest will be dead "burnt" rock. I figured this would put a lot of natural stuff in the tank that will eventually take over the dead rock too, stuff that wouldn't be in a tank with all burnt rock. I know I'm taking a small chance even with that little bit of lr, but that was my train of thought. What does everyone else think about this process? (Otty- need not reply... I already know your opinion !) If I end up w/ an algae farm... you can say you said so! _________ 55 gallon slowly growing reef aquarium, 85 lbs. live rock, 2 1/2" sandbed, 1 False Percula Clown, 1 Sixline Wrasse, Tetratec PF500 filter, 2 110 watt URI Super Actinic VHO actinics, 2 250 watt metal halides with Reef Optix 2 reflectors powered by Blue Wave 3 ballast, born 1/3/08 My Tank Thread My Tank Video  |

LOL It all will come in to the system anyways with a few months time. I have a system full of coralline and mini brittle stars and tube feather duster Pods worms and all you need is a cup of sand from a trusted source and a few months time they also will come in on new corals plugs and all.. But Quarantine all new corals and never never use anyones water from fish or corals .. And soak all new corals before they hit quarantine _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

Me and KOgle took him to 3 saltwater places in Indianapolis yesterday and got the hook sunk in deep. He will be hooked on this hobby for years to come. | |
