Finally!

[dragonzim]

Getting the rest of my live rock today. I had decided about 3 months ago to redo my tank into a FOWLR, coming from an aggresive with all fake decorations. About 2 months ago I got 50 lbs of Tonga Branch and have had it cycling since then. With the heat wave that we had a few weeks ago my LFS wasnt getting any shipments of live rock in so I've been waiting what seems like forever to get the rest of my rock. Now he's renovating his store and isnt getting any more in for at least a few more weeks. I got tired of wating so I ordered a 50lb box of Walt Smith fiji off the auction site and its set to arrive today. I cant wait to get it home so I can finally start my aquascaping. Been getting tired of just looking at the jumble of rocks thats sitting in my tank...
I'll post some pics when I get it all in there and scaped nicely...

can't wait to see some pics...just make sure you cure the new rock before you put it in.

 

[dragonzim]

I dont have anything other than the cured Tonga in the tank at this point so I am going to put the fiji in and let it all recycle together. That'll give me some more time to save up for a cleanup crew anyway.

 

[dmjordan]

glad to hear you are not cycling with fish.

Sounds like you're off to a great start, keep up the good work and keep us posted!

Got the rock yesterday and I couldnt be happier! With shipping it came out out to about $2.60 a lb.

rockwork looks good. see some nice caves and tunnels for your future fish. :happyfish

Thanks! I picked up some marine epoxy yesterday so I can glue some of those archways down. They arent especially stable right now.

 

[dmjordan]

i would try to avoid using the epoxy if possible. not only will you lose the option of rearranging your rockwork but if you ever upgrade to a larger tank it will be very difficult to get a larger mass of rock out and make it look work (look good) in a new system. JMO
