Lookin good! I just half-way set up mine tonight, still waiting on sand. The softie looks great. Jen

So yeah, Ive been staring at my tank for the past hour or so. Ive noticed some red-orange spots on my live rock, the same texture of the coralline. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I have a hitch hiker in the tank! Its a hermit crab but Im not sure as to what kind. He appears to be solid black, none like Ive seen on here. Ill try to get a pic, Im still screwing with my macro settings. Anywho... do you guys think he'll survive the cycle? Thanks, Jen

Not sure but he might be outgrowing his old shell. They dont usually come out of their old one until they find a bigger one but this might be the case. HTH and good luck! Jen

I guess the pic would help eh?

Someone once said that theyre only stupid questions if you dont ask them so here goes... Why do they call it a 12 gallon when clearly its not? I went and got (6) 2.5 gallon containers of R/O water. I used 3. Then I had to take out some water when I put the LR in. :notsure: Anyone else notice...

Full shot, Ill have the sand tomorrow.

And another... :jumping:

More live rock...

Mixing salt... :eek:

Ok, heres some pics from tonight... the tank...

I think it just depends on what you want in it. I got mine as a gift also. But Im still buying everything else for it. It also depends on where you purchase your items. My LFS sells it's figi LR for $8.99/lb. If I bought it online, I can get it for a lot cheaper. Ill probably end up spening...

I GOT IT! WOOOOOT! I have to go get a stand for it and Im still waiting on sand. After that... it set-up time! Jen oh yeah... what kind of fish is this? I think its some kind of catfish but not sure. Any idea what they eat? Do they require special lighting?

Well, on a lighter note, youve always got honey and buffalo. :yes: :happy:

Aww, sorry to hear Aaron. I can top that but I dont feel like getting into it. :nope:

Hey guys, I got it working. There was a small piece of styro from the box that got lodged in there and I didnt see it the first time. :jumping: :joy: Jen

Originally posted by TheGrog Try filling the back chambers with water to sort of prime the motor first. I tried that. I filled it up before I even started it. I saw that it wasnt taking in any water so I kept filling the back chamber thinking maybe cause it hadnt been run in a while it might...

Originally posted by rbaby For $8.99 that piece surely doesn't have that much coralline. When looking for live rock, look not only for pieces that you can work with for aquascaping, but see if you can see any pods and/or lots of coralline algae growth. That's what determines how expensive it...
