Rock

[leopard_babe]

My tank has finished cycling. Now i need to start stocking it. I was looking into getting a dwarf lion. I just added a few pieces of live rock about 2 weeks ago. I want to know if the lionfish will move the rock. 1 of the pieces of my brigde is not that anchored. If i put my hand on it, it will rock back and forth. Should I glue it down? How long should I wait before adding a lion fish? I have been finished cycling for about a week. I have a tomatoe clown. No ammonia spikes or anything. My levels are all at zero. I was going to wait about 2 months.
thanks

one of your fish might bump into it and make it fall down. I would try to make it firm.

It is shaped funny, it is as sturdy as it is going to get, unless I glue it. Should I glue it??? Or do you think it will be ok?

I am not sure on how to secure the LR bridge(maybe zip ties?), but i wouldnt risk having it fall on any inhabitants. Some mornings I see a coral or a small piece of LR that has fallen out of position, no idea on who or what could of moved it. what i am trying to say is that the bridge probably will fall.
I would wait maybe a week or two more before introducing the dwarf lion. That would put you at 3 weeks of a cycled system.
IMO that would be fine to add the lion.

Thanks. That is helpful. The bridge is secure, it is this one dumb piece that I can't get to stay. I will just move it. Thanks again!!!!

There is underwater epoxy stick that cures underwater. I think its about 15dollars for a good size stick. It's like play dough that turns hard. I've used it before, it works pretty good.

Thanks tony. It is a small piece. But I on't want any casualties due to rocks falling.
thanks
