johnnyvega252 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Do you guys think 30lbs dry rock is too little? Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Do you guys think 30lbs dry rock is too little?i don't, personally I like the minimalist scape I have 15lbs in my 20L and I like it Link to comment
johnnyvega252 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 i don't, personally I like the minimalist scape I have 15lbs in my 20L and I like it awesome Im using some old rock which i have in my nuvo 20 its about 20 lbs and i bought about 30lbs from Reefcleaners so we will see how much old rock and new rock I use. Also devastating news that might have been a godsend. My reefer got here last tuesday and well... guess what. It arrived broken it might have been a godsend because god knows I would have been setting up the aquarium and playing with it instead of doing my finals. I did build the cabinet and put in the sump and protein skimmer inside. Apparently the dudes that were selling it though amazon were Salty Supply i had ordered a current T5 from them years ago when i had my oceanic biocube 29. Chris over there was super prompt in emailing me and has ordered a replacement from Red Sea since the box was undamaged we concluded that that crack was from the factory if it would have been dropped or mishandled in transit the damage would have been far more substantial. I am still awaiting a tracking number from Chris as we are waiting on Red Sea in Texas to make arrangements. Link to comment
johnnyvega252 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Alright guys quick update... I have some homework i need to do lol. Hopefully I can get a little more followers in here as the input i receive will significantly affect the livestock going forward. anyhow tank was replaced by salty supply they provided awesome customer service btw What has occurred -Moved over all tank inhabitants, sand, rock water from my fusion 20 -setup all the wiring, filtration -Adjusted lighting and Reefkeeper Light Still waiting on new protein skimmer to break in Here are the pics Link to comment
