New LR Arrived for my 29! Here's some pics!

TomV · 05-06-2004, 03:22 PM

Well, I'm exhausted. The rock is in. It might be staying where it is... as long as I don't move it..

And I'm LOVING every minute of this!

This is the final pic for now.. LOTS of stuff growing out of this rock! Can't wait to see what springs forth as the days and weeks progress!

looking good, just dont add any live stock until it fully cures, test often and make waterchanges as well...

TomV · 05-06-2004, 05:19 PM

LOL! Thanks, Dave!

Spooda: Well, it's a little late for that. There were 3 fish already in the tank and it had some live rock in it initially. This is just the rest of it.

wow Tom that is some nice LR you got. Love the coralline algae too. Nice!

TomV · 05-06-2004, 06:00 PM

Thanks, Johnny! It sure its!

The coralline colors are: Red, Dark Red, Purple, Pink, and some kind of orange color..

It's wild! Already saw a couple Peanut Worms emerge from the rock for a look around. A couple bristleworms came out.. and a Feather Duster. There is also a type of mussel or clam that was in one of the bags. It's a small one (Thumbnail sized), orange inside, and shaped like a freshwater mussel. I know it's alive because I've seen it opening and then closing when my clown was inspecting it!

Thats it so far! I am sure there is more to come! There all sorts of sponges encrusting these rocks too!

TomV · 05-07-2004, 08:06 AM

Thanks for the comments, folks!

I wish I had a digital camera. Then I could get some closer shots with more detail of the colors! Someday.....

I can't say enough nice things about where I got them: Aquascape Live Rock. If anyone wants the email to order, drop me a PM.

They really treated me well! They send their rock out $5 a pound including postage to your door.

(sorry, had to plug em! They deserve it!)

More pics to come as I see more stuff pop out.

Montanareefer · 05-07-2004, 04:25 PM

Hey Tom! Keep us informed on how many inches the LR grows per year! Would be interesting!

TomV · 05-07-2004, 04:29 PM

Let me know how many coats of VARNISH ya gotta put on it, huh??
