yeah i've notice on my LR all these little tube like things wondering what they might be. i did however find 2 little white stars when i first put it in the tank but i think they may have been filterised lol. im also going with a FOWLR tank. i'll take pics and post them as i progress if you...

and yeah i know it is a patient hobby for me that has been a part of the fun of it. i've had the tank for about 3 months and only now am i just ready to start cycling lol

kaliek yeah i am new to SW but i have done a fair bit of research and found that everyone has different opinions. i am NOT however going to use any type of fish ESP mollies (being FW) to cycle the tank. as i said i only have one piece of LR in there at the moment and i am not particularly fussed...

thanks SCSI i'll get the prawns in there tonight. its a 400g tank how many would you recommend? also should i wait for the cycle to complete before i add more LR or would it be ok to just keep adding it as i get it?

dont know if this is a good thing or not but after putting in my piece (i got excited lol) i did a levels test ph 8.2 trite 0 trate 0 ammonia 0.25 previously the levels were all 0 so i am figuring the tank has started a cycle would i be correct?

just wondering if there is a minimum amount of LR before the tank will start to cycle or will even one piece be enough to get it started btw i currently have only one piece lol

well i added some LR and about an hour later i noticed these little guys. the pics are blurry cause i had to rush before the camera battery ran out lol anyone know what they are?

just wondering what creatures people have got growing from their live rock

i have FINALLY found a fs that sells sand and LR YAY!!! (im in australia btw) and now i have rinsed the sand... does it need drying or can it go straight in the tank?

woah thats alot of weight. i think i'll reinforce the floor before i add rock lol thanks for the info

can anyone tell me if when you add sand and rock to your tank (filled with water) does it add to the total weight or does it stay the same due to water displacement?

thanks i though so..... its just it didnt come with a box or anything so wasnt too sure.... i also have a canister filter feeding in from the left should i place the powerhead so it feeds from the right to get circulation? and also is the turn over enough for a 100g tank? or should i get more...

i got this with my tank as a filtration system (FW) and i just wondering if it does the same job as a powerhead albeit not as powerful. the writing says litre/h max :3600L/h water head : 1.8m i am assuming it is a type of powerhead. btw my tank is not cycling or anything in it other than...

can i just keep live sand in the packaging that it gets shipped in? or will this kill it off? for example the LS is on special at a really good price but my tank hasnt got powerheads or skimmers or rock. it does have heating lighting and a cannister filter. should i still be ok to add it? or is...
