Looks like a great start. Wish I would have painted the back of mine before I set it up:/

it makes the rock stand out awesome..just got 10lbs of live rock in to seed my tank

 

[holdendaniel]

just got some rock from dude in lake stevens to seed my tank. i sat and stared at rock for good hour saw no apthasia. 1st thing this morning i go look at rock and there are over 12 heads-2" of aptasia on a rock that wieghs less then one pound. ? can you make the **** hide for hours(so the ass could sell it to me) (i just trew that rock away)rofl
on the other piece i bought from him had no apthasia i can see right now.....what should i do throw it all away its been in my tank for 12 hours

 

[trido]

Personally, I never considered aptasia a threat to my tank and worth throwing out LR.
Its seriously the least of your worries when it comes to reef pests and easily controllable with Kalk paste and many other remedies out there. Unless they are physically touching a prized coral, they dont cause harm.
Anyway, nice looking start to your reef system.

 

[roscoe]

That is why I will never use LR again. If I was starting a new tank. It is a PITA ridding aptaisa. I don't know anyone that has 100% success with any type of method other than a natural predator or completely nuking thier rocks or starting off with dead rock.
