Growerguy Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Place Holder Also to share my idea. The current theme/plan is to go bare bottom and have the rock floating. Making it look like an overhang/cliff. Still up in the air for livestock. Ordered IM Nuvo Fusion 10 pro, bonsi reef magnetic rocks, and an ato. I have like 200lbs of old dry rock to pick thr. Once the tank gets here I'll get a better idea for the aquascape. Also I have an original mp10 that I may throw in, just need to replace the bearings. 1 Quote Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 So I got 10lbs of Premium Deco Live Rock from Gulf Live Rock ordered. Decided to try deco rock instead of dry rock. 2 Quote Link to comment

Growerguy Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yesterday was busy but I threw the rock in quick and its started! Will post more pics once I get a chance to aquascape. The rock got a little chilled so most of the large bristle worms died off. 6 Quote Link to comment

Growerguy Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Day 3 since the rock went in. Lots of die off raised the ammonia a bit but the bacteria seems to be catching up. Thankfully some of the critters made it too! Two different types of anemones. One looks like a majano.. Also some of the wild coral made it! Excited to see what else pops up. 6 Quote Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 So trying some things out with the scape and getting a floating rock/ledge out crop look. Thinking of trying to cover the bottom ledge with non-photosynthetic corals. 4 Quote Link to comment

I've got lots of different macro in my main tank but no Halmeda, but I've got a little more of this rock curing off to the side to go in there. 2 Quote Link to comment
Growerguy Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 I changed up the scape a bit. Had a diatom bloom but unfortunately the LFS is out of trochus snails until tomorrow. Ammonia and Nitrite hit 0 a week ago and as a test I threw in a cheap Birdsnest frag. Polyps are out and it seems to be doing fine. If it takes a turn I will move it to my big tank.
