A new picture of the progress. Things are speeding up a bit now
A hole has been cut in the wall on the other side so now the tank is viewable from all sides. Here is the current photo album. |

My friend is building a frame for the lights and another friend is doing the overflow boxes. I will also start the plumbing very soon and the sump will be going in the fish room as soon as the contractor finishes the floor there. Can't wait to test out the circulation from tank to sump and vice versa. I have also been reconsidering how to cycle the liverock. I think that rather than putting the rocks in smaller containers and then to do aquascaping in a stressful rush to keep it from drying up again I will rather just do the aquascape slowly, dry and carefully in the tank and then cycle it there when it's just the way I like it. I think the quality of the aquascape will be worth the few $ saved on salt mix. |

Arnar, are those 16 foot front and back glass panes a single piece of glass without seams?

I just popped my rock into the tank right out of the box and let her rip. I did inspect for hitch-hikers but I did not get them all. Luckily, there were no AEFW, red bugs, etc.
The macro went wild to the point of being a problem, but the inhabitants took care of it later on. I let my system run for months, first just with mechanical filtration, then I added 11 chromis, then a skimmer, etc. but I did not put in the rest of the fish or any corals for quite some time. What I did get was some sweet coraline algae (although it is some sort of super-growing version) various snaila including some cool stomatella, plenty of pods, mysid, etc. and various corals. I am not sure I would do it that way again, but as far as my rock goes, I have been really happy with it. My theory at the time was, why pay for live rock, and then kill everything off it? First day:

Hi Arnar! Great set up.....ok that's a crappy line but I really don't know what to say! LOL!
Anyway I cured 100lbs of Marco rock in my garage in a barrel. I realize that this is very minute to what your task is, but this is my experience. The rock took me about 5 weeks to cycle and the first couple weeks were terrible. The smell was very strong and the water was black. I did about a 100% water change into week 3 while the nitrites were high. I realize that this might have slowed the cycle process down, but after the water change the smell was gone for good. At about week 4 I moved the rock into 100% new water again into the new tank and then in one week the cycle was complete. Hope this helps. |
