SRC Member teebs Posted March 17, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 17, 2010 Ok regarding the rocks... all small small pieces... palm size....Tried to glued them and epoxy.... does not work... waited 30 mins and try to dry them using hair dryer... simply useless. Thankfully Karl give a helping hand and we drilled and cable tied the rocks to give it a secured foundation. Wow...so karl stayed until 6pm???

jackywongto Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 U use wat type of drill to drill holes into the LR? Got dip the LR in Coral RX Pro? normal hand drill. (use wood or metal drill bit , not wall drill bit) I dip for the 1st few.... then gave up coz too tedious and was in quite a mess trying to scape. But it is better to dip coz still have some critters inside... I saw some pods as large as domestic cockroaches at CF!!!

Thank you thank you Did you dip your other corals in your tank? when ya free, show us pic of your tank.

jackywongto Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 what do you plan on sand bro, still retain or going bb ? would like to try BB bro. Anyway the live sand I had was too fine. The whole lower layer became compact and harden too fast. hard problem siphoning too because they are too fine. If I don't like BB, then prob will add grade 1 or 2 sand in. this time will be white sand.

Are they like clowns relationship with anemone? Good to have but not life threatening. But I do need a second wave maker to direct the flow in the tank though.

But I do need a second wave maker to direct the flow in the tank though. i wd not suggest bb....u need a lot of flow....a thin layer of sand i/o thick layer will be better.... maintenance wise also more tedious for bb...
