I think I did this for the challenge of it. I bought some LR for my tank yesterday. It looks great except for the hair algae. I do have the facilities to cook the rock so, I added this to my tank, which is far from established at this point, thinking biweekly water changes (5 gallons each), at least daily turkey bastering, and just really watching my water quality.
The tank is a 29g that I started in mid November. Yesterday morning there was about 12 pounds of rock, today there is about 35ish (just a quess). There is a yellow tail damsel 5 or 6 or 7 astrea snails, and (I took this on trade for 15ish astreas) a colt coral frag and some star polyps associated with that frag. Filtration is still not everything I want and consists only of a Fluval 204 cannister.
ASAP it will be a 29 gallon sump with a fuge and the new ASM mini skimmer. Flow at the moment comes from the fluval through a spray bar along the bottom and 2 Eheim aquaballs. It will be through the same spraybar via a Mag7 (maybe 9.5) from the sump AND a Mag5 CL with 2 nozzles shooting into the back corners getting what the spraybar is missing and then to nozzles shooting from the front top corners of the tank towards the rock.
What are my chances of beating this problem that hasn't reared its head yet that I know I've gotten myself into?
