New Live Rock Pics

Hey guys and gals. Just got my the first half of my live rock home and I know how picture crazy we all are so I thought Id share.




I got 135 pounds today and will be getting the rest in a few weeks. Its got some hair algae but its not terrible. I got 10 or so mushroom hitchhikers and a few red legged hermits that Ive found so far. Hope you all enjoy!

Re: New Live Rock Pics

Got a few die off spots today. I hope this isnt going to get major. Got the skimmer in today ,waiting for it to break in. Also put in another maxi-jet (that makes the count two 12s and a seio.) Got the heater in an temp up to 78, Im keeping the temp a little low due to the fact that everything is in the greenhouse. Tried hooking up my canister filter and realize that it doesnt work oh well it was free. Picking up a new one tomorrow.

On a side note has any one used pura phoslock? I was recommended it by the LFS and hope I didnt taken for a ride as its pretty spendy stuff. Also Im running Black Diamond carbon.
