    Re: Adding live rock

    It doesn't have to be a book about nano aqauriums. Eric Bornemans "Aquarium Corals" is a very good book whether you are a newbie or more experienced. I am forever going back and looking stuff up in that book. Books by Anthony Calfo are also very well written. I know I am forgetting a bunch!!!!!

    It is not a flower pot coral(Goniopora sp.), it is a fragment of a soft coral which some people call toadstool leather coral.The scientific name would be Sarcophyton sp.

    PS. If you want to speed up your cycle process you have to make sure that you add only cured live rock. If you added completely cured live rock you should see reduction in diatoms very soon, just be patient and don't rush with the purchase of any more animals.

    Re: Adding live rock

    i'm a tad confused. everyone talks of cycling, but if you're just moving a tank (which is essentially what he's doing, moving an established tank) do you have to recycle?
