Cycle underway Well I added two of my favorite rocks from my other tank to get the cycle underway. Here is a pic of the final aquascape. Time for lights out and then we wait. Thanks everyone who helped along the way.

Anthony, reading about your problem is part of the reason I'm exploring this. That and the redbugs, nudis I got. I've never QT'd before.

Cool that's what I was hoping for. I wanted to be able to do them together. Thx for the clarification.

I have a 20gal high nano w/ sump that I was gonna sell. Instead I'm thinking I'll make it my quarantine. My question is this. Does a proper fish quarantine have to be medicated? The reason I ask is I am Also considering QT'n all coral from here out also. Basically I want to start the tank as a...

A few more

Well the stone and sand are in the tank. Thanks for the opinions everyone. Take a look at my build thread for the pics.

We have rock and sand. I still have a full bag of tropic Eden reef flakes left over. Premium Aquatics recommended 4 bag, 120lbs. I bought 3 and only used 2, 60lbs total. That gave me about 2.5"-3" all around with a few deeper area in the back of tank. That should be plenty for any fish I add...

Of course. I only stated that cause the crate would be under that much sand. I learned the hard way in my other tank. When my goby decided to clear his area.

Oh yeah Ryan that tall pillar in the left corner is just shy of 18".

Jim, I was torn between the two. Got the eggcrate just because it's easier to find. Is there advantage to the starboard. For what it's worth every rock on the bottom is flat cut. I'm also planning on around 2.5-3" sand.

I think that's my favorite too. Actually the table cloth is exactly the same height. I didn't even try to do that. The rock is from reefrocks.com. The owner Steve does good work but is pretty slow. He charged me for 100lbs and a custom setup. Total was only $195. Nice. But it took almost a...

And a little more slightly different

Here is a slightly different one

Got my reef rock today. Need opinions here. I still have about 30-35lbs leftover. This should be around 110-115lbs. do you guys/gals think its too much. This is for a 90RR. The eggcrate would be the substrate.

Ryan. It basically just helps keep rock from toppling over. For the most part. Drill a hole place the rod. Put rock in different configurations where they otherwise would not hold. The only advantages I see with threaded rod is that the threads might bite a bit more and you can use nuts to...

Guess I should have explained further and saved my $22. I heard about the plastic hanger idea too and just slipped my mind. Oh well.

IMO it looks good as is. Looks like you have a few large fish in there so bio load is probably pretty high. If you pull too much to fast its gonna have a buildup of sorts. If you had a sump you could simply move some there. Personally I'd leave it. Looks good as is.

Just pop it off. Just be carefull not to pop the bubble.

Thanks for the offer George. I already ordered the rod though. It wasn't to much just annoying to get. Haha. If I end up needing more ill give you a shout.

I just ended up ordering from mcmaster. Hopefully Im allowed to pick up by friday, when my stone finally comes in. Thanks for the help everyone.
