This is my new tank, I need to get more LR. It has only been set up for a week.

Thanks for viewing my Pictures.

You added all those things while its cycling? If you did, I really hope most of it lives...

It isn't cycling. Almost all of the water is from another tank.

My first reef tank was a 46g bow front......love them. I just wish I had saved it. I sold it to someone who made it into a goldfish tank.....

Nice tank so far. Glad to hear you cycled it with seasoned water. You had me worried there.

it doesn't matter where you got the water from. established bacteria showing that a tank is cycled isn't, for the most part, in the water.

was the rock straight from another tank also? the less die off/decay that there is, the less of a cycle. hope things work out for you. sometimes fish can be tough and last through a cycle - as long as it doesn't spike too fast. Watch your levels and test often. people sometimes try to fish the fast spike with water changes or additives. I waited 6 wks before I even put a damsel in though, so I don't have much advice.

Yep, the rock was from my old tank.

Ah, so you were transferring all from old to new tank? That's a bit different. Did everything trasfer - filter also? if so, I would guess there would be little problems.
As for the live sand.. did you transfer it too or get new? I assume you know mixing up old live sand can release a ton of junk.
