Just noticed something kind of neat in my tank. It is round, VERY small, with little leg like things coming out from it all around. Not on top or on the bottom though. It looks very skinny. It is kind of a purplish color too. Also a bit of an update on the tank. I saw the little flea guys today...

Thanks I think I will do that. I have fun just watching my little baby feather dusters. I doubt there is enough food in thte tank for them to live though :/ Basically I am asking...AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK? ;) Ive done 1 year worth of reading and all that and finally set it up, I just want to...

Well here is an update. Today I ordered 80 lbs of "Bio Activ Live Sand" from a local store here, it should be in on Monday evening. I am assuming this is Natures Ocean. Does that mean I will have to add something else to the Live Sand? I have 15 lbs of Live rock, and the live rock has TONS of...

well, I just bought 80 lbs of live sand for my 55 gallon, that should be enough eh?

I think it is an egg cause whatever was in there while I went to the store to order some "Bio-Active Live Sand" 80 lbs worth (i hope it is good) the THING inside moved around and maybe appears to be trying to break out!

It is definately not algea, cause whatever is inside seems to move around a bit. The black spot changes position.

All the ones I got on my live rock yesterday are purple. They are all tiny though. Too bad I dont know what that egg looking thing is. I think I have come to the conclusion that it is an egg, and whatever is inside is gonna be out soon. I hope I get to find out what it is.

Just brought home my first 15 lbs of Live Rock. And guess what. There is something weird in it! Its a pink THING about ( ) big sticking out of the rock. It looks like maybe a balloon or something sticking out of it with something inside it. Lots of LITTLE black dots on the inside of it (i think...

Where did you get the steralized sand, and how deep was it before you put the steralized sand in? did you mix the 2 sands together before you put it in, ore did you put in the LS first? thanks! Paul

I am buying my water premixed and picking it up today. So it would be best to get the temp right, then add all the sand/rock I want. Thanks :)

First of all, does LS need to be cured? Secondly, I will be adding water to me tank today, how much LS should I put in the tank to start with? Remember, this is a brand new tank, and hasn't been cycled yet. I am in no big hurry, So I am not going to dump like 100 lbs LR and the same amount of LS...

Wooohooooo! Tank just arrived. I can pick up the water tomorrow! Now how much live sand should I get for starters. What kind of lighting should I get and how much? In as much detail as possible with the lighting cause that is one of the things I dont know much about. Paul

Yup those are the same 402s. And I thought that was correct about the LS and LR. The LFS said not to put the LR on top of the LS. So I figured I would ask and am glad I did. How much LS should I get for a generic 55 gal tank? cause I will put that in before the water. That will help make it non...

After about 2 years of studying (half assed the last half year) I just spend some money on a new tank. The LFS here seems very knowledgable and prides himself on doing things right. He was very non bullshit. He is delivering my tank to me tonight in his truck :) Anyways here is what I got... 55...
