beeeccoooosss ? sorry have no idea why :mellow:

When you put the rock in your tank, your water does'nt even become cloudy. Next day, undetectable ammonia. That's the price you pay for fully cured liverock, without pests and lots of coralline growth. :eyebrow:

Always something more important than fish.

Yup, CF is probably the only LFS that cures their LR thoroughly and remove all pests from the rocks. And for that, they charge a huge premium. I think the $40/kg is their tonga rocks.

$20/kg should be the normal rocks. Not sure if they have any fiji rocks.

IMO, $20 per kg is really expensive for normal rocks... Fiji rocks would seem more reasonable, but I'm not too familiar with the rates.

To me rock is rock. The money is well spent if the rock is to your liking. Even if they are normal rock, they are very very high quality rock. :)

Forgot to add that the livestocks have been added since I had no ammonia spike. The hang-on filters were seeded with established biohome from my other marine tanks. The grissengeri gobies love hiding below the rocks. Lucky I opted for bare-bottom. If the tanks had sand I doubt I would see the gobies. :rolleyes:

They are more active usually just after lights off.

But yours is a pico, should be able to see them very easily.

I only see mine like once in a blue moon to serve as a reminder that I still have this fish.

Wa!!! 1-2 more!!!In my opinion they rank lowest in the "value for money" section!!!HAHAH!!!so small and you barely see them!!! :pirate:

But interesting fish though

Small? You don't know what is small until you see goby larvae. :upsidedown: No lah if they eat enough they do grow quite big, around maybe 1 inch. :D

Some new additions

Ponape birdnest.

Tiger sponge for filtration. Read somewhere that these animals are able to take up D.O.C. Thought I would give it a try since I am not running a skimmer.
