Ya I stopped on that post and sat and thought, what in the world is cooded is that some new way of cooking the rocks.. Hehe
Awesome tank man really great.
The one thing I was wondering is. By doing this will you be lacking the bio filtration that a normal amount of live rock will give you?
Just a few thoughts.. I think I might give this a try with my next tank build really awesome

I have put some live rock in which will slowly turn the fake rock into live rock.

Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware.

I opted for the black foam from Aquatic Eco Systems.

[Kannin]

There are five tangs in total. The three yellows were no bigger than a golf ball when I put them in at the same time. They chase each other and lay in wait... to ambush. But, they leave the convict and the larger chocolate mimic (who is the king of the tank) alone.

Do you have your alge under control yet? Any new pics?

 

[Kannin]

My cyano problem is 99% under control. I am growing green coraline at will but, the pink stuff only grows in the shdows. I think that it is because I only have metal halides. When I install the actinics... I think the pick stuff will take off.

I have been inspired. I will recieve my 9 gallon nano wave this week I have already purchased my egg crate and red can of great stuff and Underwater marine epoxy. I just have to purchase the sand and rock of choice from my LSF. I will keep everyone posted on my progress as I am sure to be asking for advice and suggestions. Thanks for the great thread and pics.
