Tank is already cycled. That's why I got the live rock. I would like to know how I can monitor the LR to make sure it's doing good. How to reduce microbubbles, and if the Liverock is enough to sustain the biological filter or do I need to add other waste producers into the tank. _________ 1 true-percula & 2 fox-face firefish. 46-Bow w/ 20gal as sump. DIY wet/dry and DIY overflow. Coral Life skimmer. QuietOne return pump. Eheim ProII canister (just in case my DIY stuff fails). 36" Nova Extreme (2x39w 10k, 2x39w actinic with a fan loud enough to drowned out the noise from the tank) 48lbs. LR. Tank 2 is a 55G Fresh Water w/ 4 Discus. Tank 3 is a 10G fresh with Tetra. |

no without anything producing waste your live rock will not have enough biological filtration to introduce anything. If you were to introduce something now it would cause a spike in ammonia. You better off to add a shrimp and watch the ammonia spike and then drop

Ditto, Otty. My big blue Damsel swims with my Foxfaced and the Convict stays near the maroon clown...go figure.... Big Blue used to pick on folks but I point my finger at him and he calms down...I tell him he can go to a pet store really easily and he stops acting up....hehe _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
