I thought you did a "thing" last week. I have a vision in my head, but putting it to fruition is a whole other thing. And I keep debating between live rock and cured rock. Thought about dry rock, but that takes a long time to cycle, but it's easier to create the aqua-scape outside the tank...see, there I go again:o

That's what I thought too.

I did but plans change.  I dont know what I am going to do with the 'thing'.

I mean, if you got dry rock and picked up a bottle of Microbacter and just had at it... :P  

I had great success with Fritzyme9  week long cycle with ammonia and dry rock.  pretty awesome stuff.

I think the Microbacter may be a little week as you can add a bunch to the tank and not hurt it. Great stuff but I have pored half a bottle into a 10 gallon just to try and get things going.

 

I have never tried the Fritzyme9 stuff but have used Dr Tims and the Bio Spira. I dosed ammonia with both and the cycle was not long at all. Each time was with dry rock. Reefcleaners once and Pukani the other. I think the Pukani was a bit longer as it had a lot more dead organic material on it.

I have no idea. We had a little storm here yesterday, but I haven't heard of any damage anywhere because of it. It's just stuff, sand, heater, netting for top...Don't need it yet so not really a big deal. But still when you're expecting something and then it;s not coming...

I had a 3-day delivery delay due to "weather conditions" after a snow storm....even though all the roads were plowed and clear.  Every day it would say out for delivery, every night it said delivery delayed.  Annoying. :rolleyes:

mangroves take a while to grow.  Whats his face's tank is amazing and he's been growing his mangroves for several months now.

 

You can be super duper ambitious and beat all of us by doing a dwarf pony tank.  Thats a florida biotope :P

:lol:  What's his face's tank cracked me up.

Leak testing the tank and running the pump. I don't notice it being overly loud. maybe at night when its quite in the house

 

Whats the fun of leak testing :blink: I am about deaf from work and who knows what as a kid..........but still heard the one in my 20 :lol: Hopefully the one I get will be quiet......but if not I actually have the same pump already from a nuvo 10 I had. Its a mixing pump now and good and broken in.
