KidK9 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Pete, where'd you get your live rock from?? Link to comment
artooman Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Good luck the tank. It looks great from the picture. One question though... 84 degrees seems a bit high to me. I was under the impression that 78-80 was a good temperature range. My tank is at the same point (just added live rocks/sand and waiting for the cycle), but I have mine holding at 79 degrees. Although I do realize that stability is the most important factor, so perhaps we are both ok. Can anyone shed light on this? Link to comment
