Initial setup.

ehhh. its okay

NO it's not okay. Much better than okay.

Awesome scape!!

Youd be very suprised to know the details of this build. all manmade aquascaping means no instant help from live rock taken from nature, she plans to use aquacultured frags from trade or from the fish store and additionally starting out with zero live rock means one is building a reef totally from scratch, we'd be hard pressed to find very many on this board.

99% of reefs I know use live rock and get all those instant benefits~this is a real test of chemistry, patience in stocking and maintenance, when you see the unspoken details the beauty of the picture is evident.

so where does the bacteria come from then?

The rock is ceramic, and all 1 piece.

Did you sculpt the rock yourself? I really dig the shape. Do you plan on using a product like microbacter 7?

Got the rock - it's called Vidarock - from Cerameco; they're online. Thank you, I like the shape alot, too, although I think it would look even better in a slightly larger cube tank.

I'm adding Microbe-Lift Special Blend and Nite-Out.
