New Live Rock Pics

Does anyone know what kind of coral this is? It came on my live rock and I think the guys at my LFS thought it was dead but its not. I only paid like 10 bucks for this piece.

New Tank Setup – Day 7

Posted by gerard on May 17, 2010 under Aquarium Info | Be the First to Comment

I took these pictures a couple days ago. Cleanup crew is in. I got 12 red leg hermit’s, 10 astrea snails and 2 Mexican turbo snails to start off with. I’m planning on a doing a water change at the 2 week mark since the tank has cycled already. Then I will be going for a new fish. After that I will probably not doing anything for the next month except make sure everything stays stable. I’ll post another update in a few days.

I just found a new aquarium store in Lake Worth, Florida. They opened a few months ago but I just discovered them last night. Very nice and clean. Tons of corals and fish. I am definitely going to stock my new tank from this shop.

New Tank Setup – Day 4

Posted by gerard on May 12, 2010 under Aquarium Info | Be the First to Comment

Day 4 and the tank is looking pretty good. I checked the water parameters last night and they are as follows:

ammonia: 0

nitrite: 0

ph: 8.0 (I added some marine buffer)

nitrate: 5-10

I took some more pics of the live rock. I think the store gave me some live rock that has coral growing on it. I think my LFS thought it was dead coral but the polyps are popping up under the moonlights every night.
