    Very clean and they are right more rock for natural filtration will be great. I have a question to anyone who knows. Do you need to do anything special when you add live rock to an established aquarium? Are there any potential problems?

    Nice workmanship! Your output looks a little sketchy where you have the piece of flex attached to the PVC. What are you using to keep it on?

    @ mission - I didn't have any clips left last night so I just shoved it on, I just got home from picking up some snap clips and it is now secured with the snap clips. @harrill - I believe if your adding actual LR to your established tank you should QT it as well, not 100% sure but I believe so.

    Ad for my LR, unfortunately I don't really have to the funds to spend on it ATM, my wife and I just purchased out first home so were really watching are spending, I will be getting my taxes done here soon and when I do I'm gonna remove some of the LR that's in there now and fill my tank up with http://www.marcorocks.com.. I'm also gonna build two matching cabinets to my DT on both sides to hide the skimmer and ATO container..

    Thanks guy, I know it's nothing like some of the sweet tanks I've seen on here but one day when I learn enough I'll have one..

    I've ordered from Marco Rocks a couple of times. The rock is extremely clean and should not cause a cycle. Just rinse off the loose debris. It's not as light in weight as some other rocks, but I like the fact that it's very clean, and I like the looks of it.
