Cut me some slack....Im still heavily medicated.....Ive never put the apostrophes in

Looks like some massive pieces there....should be fun to work with.

The rock's DIRTY stuff. My plan is to assemble the structures in the empty tank. Should I fill/drain the tank with cheap tapwater a few times after I'm done to get rid of a BIT of the crap/phosphates in the rock and then do ro/di? I know tapwater has phosphates etc but wouldn't this at least work like diffusion? Rock must have way more an some would leech out...

You could pressure wash it?

lastlight · #**294** 10-31-2009, 03:35 AM

Is the crap on the outside (which washing would help knock off) my biggest concern or is it what's inside the rocks? I was thinking of at least scrubbing each rock in the sink before I used it...

If it were me ... I'd just give the stuff a hosing and deal with it. Especially since the plan is to run a little while still without livestock .. just let it diffuse and cycle out.

Those pieces are massive!! Should be great to see the final 'scape.

Dez, you really need to get that cough checked out! LOL!

Tony layoff Dez. He's about buying coral and has no time for this crap LOL!

Yeah I'm giving each rock the ole rub'n'tizzug in the sink and putting the puzzle together. I am takin' it slow and will try and keep the lights OFF but I imagine I'll be sitting in front of the tank even with my dead rock in it.

Hurry up and get the DAMN rock in the tank! I can't wait to see those big shelves. Any idea yet how the 'scaping is going to be? A couple of big towers?

lastlight · #**298** 10-31-2009, 04:19 AM

The left will be a really big tower I think with most of my shelf pieces. Maybe all of them. Then open sand maybe. Then on the right will be the two pieces I've had laying in there for some time. Tho I may build them up a bit. But much more open on the right side...

Of course when I start getting dirty who knows what I'll decide. I change my mind every 10 minutes.

Ha Ha I know what you mean. The end result of my scape wasn't anything like the way I had it pictured in my head. I liked the way it turned out though. (after 3 hours of.........move this rock here, no here. Yes, no, maybe.)

Is your rock on egg-crate Lance?
