TBS pictures

[Melbourne]

Here are pictures of my first TBS shipment, which consisted of the package 20 gallon (for my 37) and a 10 lbs of base rock for my fuge and 12G setup. Sorry for the low resolution, posting restrictions.

Looks great! Any mantis show up in your shipment?

[foxstop]

Very nice! Curious as to what hitchhikers (both good and bad) that you've seen so far.

Grats on the nice rock!

Hi,

No mantis so far. As for hitchhikers, I haven't noticed too many - although I haven't been watching at night when my moonlight is on. What I've found so far.

2 brittlestars
1 Astrea snail (1" or so)
1 inch long purple crab (not sure type, not a gorilla), barnacle growing on his shell.
lots of different pods, some up to 2 inches in length.
bunch of smaller snails (not sure of the type)
bunch of feather dusters
something that moved like a small fish, but I have seen it since I aquascaped the tank
6-7 mussels
tons of barnacles
3 clams
Vicious Sponge (AKA Chicken Liver Sponge)
Variable Yellow Boring Sponge
Lesser Star Coral
Spaghetti Worms
Tube Coral
bunch of other unknown sponges

Wow, that rock is like a smorgasboard. Can't wait to see it. Good luck.

Hi.

Looks like I might have a mantis in my tank. After my daily water change on the 37 last night I heard a series of clicks coming from the tank. Hopefully I can isolate the rock he is in. I'm on day 5 of my cycle, and I'm still doing fairly big daily water changes (6 gallons on the 12, 15 gallons on the 37) - total ammonia a little under 1 ppm. Had to take off a couple of dead sponges - inverts still seem to be doing fine. How does my TBS rock curing process compare to others?

Your TBS curing is going faster than ours. I didn't go to zero ammo until about day 8. The other guys were even longer. I cured mine in my display tank. They used vats.
