Dentoid · 08-03-2007, 10:54 AM

Love those little guys!

Have you considered more LR?

Cassette87 · 08-03-2007, 10:55 AM

They're lookin good! I agree with scott, more LR could liven it up a lot!

prow · 08-03-2007, 11:00 AM

nice i like. great start. more rock for sure, triple the current amount.

Charlie97L · 08-03-2007, 11:05 AM

are you going to keep the damsels?

GeeWizzItsMe · 08-03-2007, 11:10 AM

Actually, there is no live rock! But yes, I am going to the LFS today to pick up a lot! I don't know if I will keep them; I will keep at least one probably...

Dentoid · 08-03-2007, 11:11 AM

Now you're talkin'!

blue_eyes53813 · 08-03-2007, 11:12 AM

You will wanna wait till after the cycle for the hermits and crabs. They wont make it through the cycle

GeeWizzItsMe · 08-03-2007, 11:28 AM

Oh thank you guys! How long do you expect the cycle will take?

tippMANn98 · 08-03-2007, 11:30 AM

i see you have volcanic rock in there...I would get rid of that...fish can get cut up pretty good on that rock.....

GeeWizzItsMe · 08-03-2007, 12:09 PM

I read somewhere that the water should be through the cycle to add live rock. Is that true? I kinda wanna add it today and get rid of the volcanic rock. And how do you know how much live rock to put in?
