Rocks......lets "buy" rocks? are we crazy?

Ken and Linny came by.....to try and figure out what the heck is happening in the hex and to add our 20lbs of base rock, and 20lbs of live rock on our substrate. Sad that you have to buy rocks to make this work...but oh well. Ken spent a bunch of time on the tank making it look really cool. Nice rock too! Tons of pink coraline algae, some cool "plant" material....and clean! OOOOH can't wait for fish!

Kindof slow.....

The tank is still cycling...but seems to be cycling quickly. Ken told us to add some of the aged water from the hex downstairs to speed up the good bacteria...so we did. We also added Seachem Stability to the water and think that may also speed up the process somewhat....I know the shrimp is pretty rotten now...YUCK! Makes you wonder why people would eat that anyway!

Some salt water for ya....and lets rot some shrimp!

So we mixed up a batch of salt.....and filled the tank...are we really sure this is what we want to do? I mean....whew the trouble in the hex?! Oh well, lets give it a go.....

Pass the salt

Now that all the angels are gone this will be a diary of the change-over process from Angel Tank to Salt water Carnivores!
