Live Rock

[fubr]

YEA!!!
Got 20 pounds of cured Monona Live Rock..I think I spelled it wrong...oh well. Got a "small" clean up crew also. A dozen Blue leg Hermits, and 5 Astrea Snails..
How long will it take the rock to become beatiful? lol
Monona is a very light weight rock. My 30 gal is practically full with the 20 pounds....hmmmm
lol
My damsels are gonna be hard as heel(lol) to get out.

Properly "CURED" rock will already have stuff all over it. I'm guessing you got somewhat cured rock. Whatch for the ammo to rise.It may or may not. That is a substantial addition to the bio load of your tank.It may go into a mini cycle as the bacteria catches up. If your not already,you should start using Coral-Vite or some other mineral suppliment to give the rock a KICK START. I can't remember what kind of lighting you have,This has alot to do with good rock. And from what I've heard monano is some very good rock. STEVE

Well I have tons of stuff on it, alot of little creatures..copepods..They have been curing the rock for about 5 or 6 weeks. I have alot of coraline growth and some brown tubes, little green sprouts of some sort. I have what seems to be a mushrooms also. I see all these beatiful pictures of live rock that is more of a bush...jsut wondering if it would get like that.

My live rock literally looked like a bush after a month or so because of major macroalgea growth. But now I have none for my new tang and Coral Beauty ate it all.

With care and proper lighting it may get close. Realise,If you are trying to sell rock you will put up a picture of the best you have.not the stuff you sell. STEVE
