I am buying 500 lbs of LR - Page 2

msbdiving · 05-04-2008, 12:02 AM

Nice deal on the rock. Lightless should be fine if nothing is in there. As for the coralline, the spores are there. It should bounce back in no time. Can't wait to see the pics. Are you doing a chronicle? I have been out for a while and haven't been paying attn. Good on the male female mix, one of the first things to consider.

If you're planning on no light or low light you need to separate the males from the females. If you don't, there'll be one massive orgy & you'll end up with babies all over the place

omg.. babies!! i love when they are babies!!! so cute!!! but then they get big and try controlling that. humpff... i would suggest seperating the male and female too!

so 500 pounds?! thats a crazy amount of rock... pictures when you get! i jjust wanna see what 500 pounds all together looks like!

naperenterprise · 05-04-2008, 09:53 AM

Can someone explain this male female thing with live rock?
Or is this another RS inside Joke I just missed...lol

I'm confused, and its early, only had one cup of coffee so far

Steph--I know we are going to be VERY busy, plus my sisters wedding is in June. I'm MOH so it's going to be hectic, I am going to be home (Michigan) most of June, sucks!

Gary--I think I am going to get two different tubs, they NEED to be seperated, next thing I know I'll have 1500 pounds, they reproduce like darn bunnies.

Sarah--The babies are cute and all, but I don't think I can handle of the hell makers! There will be a lot of them!

Jason--I will find the link of the babie making rock to catch you up!

I think they are refering to rubbermaid STOCK tanks,... not the rubbermaid totes you get at walmart..

The stock tanks are what you need to use, John.

Stacef · 05-05-2008, 08:50 AM

Thank you for all of your suggestions! The guy isn't calling me back erghhh. And already told me it was mine, I was supposed to go pick it up today/tomorrow, cross your fingers.

glampka · 05-05-2008, 09:20 AM

I've been putting my babies in my Aquafuge. Good place for them to grow out for a bit before transferring them to the DT. Just put about 7 or 8 in there the other day.

Stacef · 05-05-2008, 12:21 PM

Good method Gary, I should be taking them out of the DT to. I think I am getting some major inbreeds...I have to keep seperating them, then an hour later they are next to each other again ughhh.

naperenterprise · 05-05-2008, 12:49 PM

You guys and girls are messing with me...
What the heck are you talking about???
ROCKS? Breeding?

Next I'll be snipe hunting or looking for the left handed smoke shifter right...

What is going on with this? Hu?

glampka · 05-05-2008, 06:28 PM

jimw369 scored some great male LR. I've asked him to post pix.

rlcline76 · 05-05-2008, 08:36 PM

Mine popped out a couple of females a week or so ago. You can see them just to the right of the red shrooms. I cannot get rid of them until they are weened (just 5 more weeks)!
