I had sand in the tank already, so I didn't get the package. Now that I look back, I'm not sure the mix of 50% crushed coral, 50% aragonite was the best way to go. I probably should have done the package... I have a couple more bags of aragonite so I might try and take more crushed coral out tonight.
The reason I went with tampabay was for all the hitchhikers! I'll probably eat those words after a few weeks of gorilla hunting... Half day at work, 18 holes of golf, then the rock goes in! Lots of pics to come.
thanks bluespot!

Oh, and don't be surprised to find a few nice surprises included in the package. I got a sweet little fish (that I never saw again), an anemone (that died), a gorgonian, a tree sponge, etc.
As for the crabs and mantis, please do not under estimate where these can hide. I've had my rocks out for inspection/cleaning several times and still have the little buggers!
Have fun! |
