I was thinking that while mounting these "frags" last night. Like, dang, i didnt grow all this, but ima def post pics like i did.
No if the rock has been cured you shouldn't notice any changes really. Provided there's no pests or algae on the new rock.Morning everyone! Got a question. I’m looking at building another high ledge in my tank. I want to build up on the left side of the tank to have more surface area higher in the tank to take out the frag rack and put those 20 frags on a permanent rock structure. Thinking of using CaribSea rock that’s been in WWC’s rock tank so it’s semi cured. The question is, will I still see a mini cycle in the tank doing that with the associated increase in pest algae? The new ledge will be slightly over and to the left of that green encrusting Montipora. PAR there should be about 350-400 which is what the frag rack corals are seeing. It’s directly below the far left Radion XR30.

Shanes bassically dope fiending all of us into small wholesale orders. My freebie was a beautiful tenuis bigger than anything on any major vendors website.
Explain that.
You can use "dead" flat rock and wouldn't see a cycle. I've done it like 3 times in the past 8 months or so... add to my aquascape.Morning everyone! Got a question.

100% relatable, for relatively less money you can save a year or more worth of grow out and still have a nicer piece to begin with.
Did you check your sticker
Ive done it 4-5x in this tank. I did it two days ago to get this tonga branches in.Morning everyone! Got a question. I’m looking at building another high ledge in my tank.

Typically they get ugly for a week but cleanup crew and tangs keep it in check. I wouldnt worry about ammonia, but they will sponge up po4 depending on how much rock relative to water volume.
I would recommend increased testing of po4 if the system is finicky.
Personally i would use fresh caribsea over semicured from WWC. Both cost and knowing its fresh clean rock is worth it IMO.
Thanks. Didn’t think I would need to add more bacteria, but wasn’t sure about the algae. WWC has those two giant tanks with just rock in them. I’ve bought it before and it was very clean. Yes, will pay a little more, but you get the 10% kick back on points to buy frags, which helps a little.Ive done it 4-5x in this tank. I did it two days ago to get this tonga branches in.

Agree, also having extra rock, sometimes a piece 1" bigger or with an oblong shape makes all the diff. I started with JB weld but find ocean wonders and some of the other reef type "stick" better or cure faster or both. I also dab super glue on both sides of the epoxy.
Makes sense. Should also have less of an impact on po4 in that case, and take coraline quicker helping reduce the brief ugly phase. Shouldnt have any issues bro good luck.
Wife is in final stages with ours. By end of day today. Should be a better testimonial than unboxing vid
My NO3 runs about 15 and PO4 stay about 0.15-0.18 so shouldn’t have a problem with them. I’ve got some Neonitro and NeoPhos on hand if needed or just feed more Reef Rods.Agree, also having extra rock, sometimes a piece 1" bigger or with an oblong shape makes all the diff.

Yeah just to add, my experience, is the fresh caribsea will sponge it out, and depending on how much, can be a pretty noticeable amount. So just keep an eye on it is all. The good thing is its always been gradual over the course of a few days, so no spike really to worry about if it does drop.
Werent you the one that posted the petco caribsea sale
