Hi all,
I just got a Fluval Evo 13.5 gal tank. So far it's fairly stock with the addition of a 50W heater and a Fluval CP 2 pump (which I haven't placed yet).
In the tank is CaribSea Arag-alive Fiji Pink and CaribSea base dry rock. I rinsed the dry rock in a bucket of tap water with a pump over about a day with a couple water changes and then rinsed it in RO water. Didn't rinse the sand, just ever so delicately added it in.
Last time I had a SW aquarium I used live rock from the LFS but I'm excited to watch my rock go from a totally blank canvas to different colors. I spent a bunch of time sketching out how I wanted the rock placed and, in the end, just winged it once I put them in the tank.
Now I need to test my initial parameters and roll out the bacterial red carpet!
