Just a quick update. I got my 80 lbs. of uncured Carribbean live rock while I was at work. I called my son and told him to put it in my empty tank until I got home. When I arrived, there was a teetering mountain of rock and about 1/2 inch of garbage on the floor of the tank. ha ha ha. I was too tired to clean up all the mess last night.
I found the instructions that came with the rock. I want to use the rock to cycle the tank but even so, I'm supposed to clean off the excess detritus. Extra work for me tonight cleaning out filters and vaccuuming the sand bed.
This morning at least half of the detritus was GONE! I don't know if all the creatures in the sand bed came out to eat or if the rock actually had some organizms in it that cleaned up. It's a mystery!!
I ordered 20 lbs. of live rock rubble to replace my bioballs and it should be here in 3 days. I also ordered 20 lbs. of bamboni base rock because I want to use it as a feather duster home eventually.
