hey guys so a friend of mine gave me a big chunk of dried coral he basically took of out of his clients tanks dries them outside and sell thems i guess. So i got this chunk from him it’s alottle dirty from like outside debris is it okay to rinse it with tank water and re enter it into the tank...
yah the plywood will disperse the weight evenly your more than fine imo, i build my stand out of aluminium versa T grooved bars supports over 1k pounds easy feels like it moves alot but its pretty sturdy
you have any good pictures of sponges in your reef? mine look weird pretty looks like pink lump after awhile the middle looks like something came out of it to me they look like fuzzy pink cocoons
yah ill be adding my full clean up crew this week watch the levels and hopeflly add the last of my fish towards the end and slowly work on the corals dont want to nuke the tank
well my tank is up for about 3 weeks now pretty sure its cycled i added bacteria and matrix media done multiply tests dont see any ammonia or nitrates or nitrites rest is pretty much solid
i wasnt showing ammonia after day 5? pretty much all my tests are in check getting some ugly algae on the rocks but i think its safe to start stocking already atleast clean up crew already have my goby and shrimp in there no issues
yah i got an infestation of sponges in my other tank haha currently this one i have is pretty much ready for coral ill be dipping all my corals this week and entering them in the new tank .
