I picked up my Marcorock 2 weeks ago. Monday Feb 25th I loaded a 75g tank w/ the rock and also ro/di water. I let it soak in the ro/di for 24 hours. On tuesday I added a heater a tunze 6100 and a mag7 for flow. From tuesday until this tuesday I did 10g WC's on it w/ high salinity water until I raised the salinity to 1.025 and have the water heated to 81 degrees F. Wend I added a euroreef skimmer to the tank thanks to a local friend. I added a shut off valve to the air intake and adjusted it to skim dry. Yesterday the water had a yellow/green tint to the water and was very foggy. Today I went there and the collection cup was full of tar like skimate and a very very thick foam overflowing and wrapped the whole outside of the skimmer. I was cleaning it off by wiping my hand from the water to the top of the skimmer and the foam wasnt breaking nothing it was that thick. I cleaned the cup and the outside of the skimmer. The water today was extremely clear today. I added a bottle of fritz-zyme 9 to speed up the cycling process.
I will take pic tomorrow of the rock curing.
The rest of this process will be like so,
Next week add 2nd bottle of Fritz-zyme 9
10-20g WC a week
Test the water every week for Ammona/Nitrite/Nitrate
Tank should be ready April 22nd
Pick up the tank
Add the rock and sand
Test the water 2 days later for:
Amm/trites/trates/PO4
A week later add my clownfish and a big cleaning crew
Then test every week and as long as everything is going right every week add my fish back into the tank.
In one months time I plan on have all 15 fish back into the tank.
When all fish are in and all test show "0" (PO4 .03), I will then Start testing for :
Cal (415)
Alk (8.0)
Mag (1500)
Pott (380)
After there inline with the way they should be I will connect my Calcium Reactor and start adding all of my SPS and LPS into the tank.
I will then start to dose my zeo additives one at a time until I get the right dosings. Gonna be using
Amino Acid
Coral Vitalizer
Pohls Coral Snow
B-Balance
K-Balance
Sponge Power
Pottasium Iodide
Iron
4'x3'x2'
Front, back and right pane Staphire
External Overflow on the left pane
