sounds good. that's pretty much how i did it when i transfered.... no cycle either. just make sure the new live rock is cured. and you might want to seed your new sand by adding a cup of your old to it. hope that helps a little.

Picture update, few notes on what's been going on...

Boring stuff first. I had a cyano outbreak... nothing terrible, just a really dense mat in one spot. I changed flow, upped water changes, nothing helped... so I used maracyn. I know, bad me. Well, it worked perfect, I used half doses every 12 hours for 3 days... ran some carbon after, and I've been cyano free for 2 weeks now. I took a chance, it worked for me, didn't effect one coral or snail or crab or fish. Lucky.

Scare #2. I woke up one morning to find an isopod attached to one of the clowns head, the pod was still clear and hadn't really started feeding yet... I had to net the fish and use needle nose pliers to get it off, this was a week ago... the fish acts as if nothing ever happened. Lucky.


I think i've had pretty good success with this tank, pictures show pretty good growth in 3 months since most corals were added. I should also say that I have only ever tested amm, trites and trates... I do trates once a week, haven't done any other test since the cycle. Simple has worked well for me. I feed light, once every other day. I run chemi-pure elite, change filter floss every 3 or 4 days, and Water changes every 7-10 days.

Let me know what you think...

Did something a little questionable yesterday... Added a purple firefish. Three fish in a 10 is debatably overstocked, I know.

My trates have been zero'ed for quite some time, and I feed very sparingly. That said I wanted a bit more to look at in the ten, so I got the firefish. My clowns have picked on him/her a little, but no nipping or serious bullying. Im hoping the chasing subsides after a few more days. The fish is awesome looking, and has a cool personality. So i'm happy. If things get sketchy my LFS is legit and will gladly swap for a nice frag or something.

no pics, just an update to bump and maybe get some feedback...

nice tank
clean and simple

Nice looking tank! Lots of colors. And purple firefish are awesome.

Thanks! I've had a couple issues with the candy-canes, they have been upset for awhile, and the green zoas in the middle have been browning a little. I have new bulbs on the way! Hopefully this helps

Quick update/bump. I've really been a bad forum member with my lack of updates, you popular people must have lots of free time, and by that I mean I'm just lazy

Tank is on auto-pilot, no changes really except my candy-cane didn't make it, I realized the frogspawn was stinging it too late. Everything is growing, pics to follow.

Tank is looking good! I like it! How long has it been set up?

i dont even see frogspawn coral in that tank...

Picture update. Tank on auto-pilot. 25% water changes every 14-21 days. I feed very sparingly.

That's a nice looking Torch. Tank looks good, too.

Thanks! It started as one small head, it's now split to four, and a fifth is forming. All since the beginning of this year

amazing tank!

your tank blows

now i'm a d*ck

Update!!!.. Im curious your 10 gallon was just a AGA right? Im amazed at how clean and even the glass is if it is.. The one 10gallon i tore the trim off of it and the glass was fractions of a inch bigger and smaller on some sides...

Beautiful how it filled out..

update.... i have torn down the tank to buy a new road bicycle. Some items are in the hardware classifieds as we speak. Sad week. but was bored with it. Once i own a home ill get back into it.
