Do you have live Rock that is cured in the system?... To have the biological field to fast cycle tank?
Or is natural salt water enough?

AWESOME! Great looking tank and livestock.

the natural sea water is enough , i have 10kg of live rock on the way , but the amount of stock i have in he tank would have no impact on water......

Looks great! I'd like to see a pic showing the whole wall if you've got one since you added the livestock.

Thanks!

(now I don't have to hunt for the thread anymore either

Jaggy this tank is Awesome! I take my hat of to you that's a great job you did.
I need to mentioned from some people that are concern if you need live rock. Your right the salt water will seed it . A little live rock wont hurt but its not needed . I myself have for 6 years started a salt water tank by only using sea water and base rock
and my tank was a success, with no problems. Because I was using sea water the proper beneficial bacteria anchored themselves into the base rock. It took a long time but it worked. Plus keeping up on my water changes. After awhile my experiment worked out perfect.

Awesome tank! I have one question though. Did you see any settleing of the tank when you filled it with water? If so, how did you leveled it back to normal?

jaggy · #**143** 07/18/2007, 02:11 PM

there was no settling at all tank is rock solid , thanks for the comments guys i took a big gamble with this , and it has paid off up to now , hell even my surge is working first time!

here it is , i still have to top tank up with water , so thats why water level is down so mych , this is 20 uk gallon of water in 1 min , looks like my sps is gona like this tank!
