Reefing newb
I have been planning a 55 gallon reef tank for a wile now. Today was my sign to start the adventure! I work at a pet shop and someone had brought in their saltwater fish along with their live rock. As long as we have room we will take it in and (adopt out) the fish and rock. All the money from the adoption fee goes to the shelters:) So through the day we did end up selling the customers fish out to a woman who had a large tank with room to spare. But the live rock stayed. This live rock was so nice. There where medium and small pieces with coraline and a few blue mushrooms. Looking at the rock all day had me thinking... I wonder how much it would be for me to (adopt) the live rock. So I asked my manager and she said I could take it home no questions asked. She knew I would be spending money on the QT set up so I got a good nine pieces of live rock for pennies. I also bought a fluval 20 gallon filter, 15 gallon heater, live sand and salt. I was golden. I just set up the tank and everything is good to go. Now we wait. With all the live rock the New tank syndrome should be minimum and the mushrooms should survive. Wish me luck!
