    Thought I would post a few pics of my first tank with some of the live rock in it. Rock arrived this morning. I have another small box coming Friday. The tank hasnt been seascaped yet and circulation pumps aren't where they will permantly be. Ammonia has already gone through the roof. Several creatures are still alive but I dont count on them surviving. I am doing a 20% water change on Saturday. I love looking at your pics so will post a bunch of my tank as it progresses. I have already reached out to several members and will be adding frags once I am certain the cycle has finished. Added stability today and will follow the recommended dosage. Picked it up at frag fast. Also won a refractometer and a kent beginners reef additive kit. Awesome to win that stuff as I needed it./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/hehe.gif


    Feel free to shout out advice. I am not too proud to learn from the experienced.

    Gulf live rock. The owner Dan is great. He picked my pieces out of the ocean on Monday. Shipped it late Monday night and was at my door less than 48 hours from being picked. I spoke to him via phone and he will do a discount if the club wants to do a club buy. You can call and tell him the sizes you need for your tank. It is actually ancient coral dug up on shore and placed in the ocean in the 90s. They harvest it instead of destroying the natural reefs. Pretty cool.

    Dang. I thought the same thing looking at those pics.. "Where the heck did they buy that?"

    Very cool. Nice start.
