righttirefire Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I just realised I have a link to my Nuvo 8 in my signature, but here is where my Caribbean Biotype originated 1 Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 It's HERE! Picked up the tank yesterday morning. The princess still wasnt happy about it, but it's here now. So a major garage clean up took place, once the garage was mostly sorted the tank got unloaded and a vinegar bath. The stand got moved into its potential location. 4 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 About time you got that crap out of my garage and into yours Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 @spectra is this an aussie lagoon? It wont hold water like this. Cleaned and drying 2 3 Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Can't wait to see this tank! I love to see different people's takes on the same regional biotope, and the different stocking options that each reefer chooses. It's a cool and exciting aspect of the hobby. I'll be following along 😄 1 Quote Link to comment
Dutchymomo Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I just got a pearly jawfish about a week ago and he/she is great. When i first put her in the tank she hid until after the lights turned off. She built 4 burrows, and hides in the one ride in the front of the tank. I would get a turkey baster to feed it because they won't venture far from their burrow for food. Can't wait to see this build! Best of luck 1 Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Current thought is which live rock to go with. Kp Aquatics Gulf-live rock Tampa bay live rock Im heavily leaning toward KP, but they are the most expensive. I cant remember which one but they had the oldest stash of rock in the water. Im looking to bring in the macros and whatever corals hitchhike in. 1 Quote Link to comment

Im looking to bring in the macros and whatever corals hitchhike in. I had this same dilemma, and ended up going with gulfliverock. I can't say for sure that this was the best decision, but the option I decided on (their "coralline" live rock, which is apparently not as mature as their "premium" variety) ended up having a much larger variety of life on it than I expected. Besides having nearly total encrustation of coralline algae on many pieces, it also came in with a bunch of macros, sponges, tunicates, and several SPS corals. It's also pretty affordable and ships right to your door. That being said it could easily be the case that Tampa Bay or Kp have the better rock, as GLR is the only uncured rock I've tried so far. But I was definitely not disappointed with my choice. Quote Link to comment

For what it's worth, I went through this thought process myself and decided on Tampa bay live rock due to prior experience being very positive. That said, I plan on having a few weeks dedicated to pulling out any pests (e.g. gorilla crabs, worms, etc) 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 I plan dealing with "pests" that was the most fun we had setting up our first tank with "cured" wet rock. The copepods and stars coming out of the rock. So looking forward to that Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Its in the house and level. Still a little away from water. Going to Arizona in a couple weeks I might have it wet and cycling while we're gone, but I'm betting it'll be dry until I get home @jack1978 its not that difficult. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
