Six weeks may be right...I don't have a clean up crew just two fish. I let the tank cycle for about a month and tested everything before I put any fish in the tank... Will the brown go away as time passes?

Nothing special, Power Compact Lighting I keep them on for four hours a day for the two fish in the tank

I have a 70g tank that's a few months old and I recently noticed brown growth on the rocks and in the sand. Its almost copper colored and its spreading quickly... I was told that it may be a sign that my lights are old but this doesn't seem possible considering the lights are new with the...

Thanks for all the information...I'm obviously going to have to plan this out before I proceed :thinking: I certainly don't want to have any problems, I expect the live rock to help my tank not hurt it... Thanks again

Thanks guys, I’ll take it slow, only adding a few lbs, and ensuring that the rock is fully cured, just to be safe I will QT the new rock w/ the bucket and power head it sounds easy and brainless. Thanks again for everyone’s advise

how would you suggest curing the rock if i end up purchasing it from saltwaterfish.com's site?

I have about 6 emerald crabs and 7 peppermint shrimp, and they get along fine, I also have a zoos snake and they have never touched or bothered it. Although I also have a big emerald crab who ate a cleaner shrimp. Keep in mind that i have a 150+ gallon tank.

Yes the rock would be cured, I have a 150 gallon tank.

I have an established reef tank with over 100lbs of live rock and I’m considering adding about 100 more lbs is this too much at once and could it potentially cause strain on the environment? :notsure: From what I understand the more rock the better and more filtration. Are there any other...

Thanks you very much...I thought that's what it might be :notsure: but I wanted to confirm.

I just got a brain coral and recently it started discharging some pink, green, and brown gunk. This fish are eating it. What is this stuff? Is it normal? Should I be worried about the fish eating it?

Is it difficult to get Bangaii Cardinal fish? :happyfish I've been watching for them for a few months. Does anyone know if this a seasonal fish?

How long does it take a tank to develop microfauna? Can you speed up the process?

I'm glad to hear its been done. Do you think my friend should watch for some specific behaviour or should he assume they'll be fine since there haven't been problems? He's had them in the tank for severl months, do problems start later in life?

Thanks for the info...
