Look At What I Got Today!!!!!!!!!!!

[jason sartain]

O.K. I went out to meet mitchelliii at his house in Buford today and bought 100#'s of some awsome LR! Look at the life on this stuff!!! I also got 5 orange mushrooms,several kenya trees, a nice rock with his Royal BTA and yellow polyps on it, 5-6 huge turbo snails, 1 emearld crab, a nice tree leather coral, and a very nice Royal gramma.
The Royal Gramma was hiding when I took his picture, and the RBTA was not inflated yet.
I already had the clown in the shot,and he loves all his new hiding places.

Nice Rock! Keep an eye on the BTA though. They are hardy but usually fare better in established tanks.

Heres a full tank shot then and now.

great transition!!!

Thanks,the rock was only out of the water for a few minutes.We took it out ,weighed it (so I could pay him of course),and then put in containers with saltwater that pretty much covered them completly.Other than that I dipped them and put them in my tank.I'll just have to watch the BTA's for now, but there both eating.Anything I should look for if there in trouble?

I should also note that I put about 30# in my 30g I'm currently cycling,and about 20# in my 10g QT.So I only added about 70# to my 75g bringing the total to 120#,I hope it doesn't crash!!!,several people here said it might have a mini-spike for 24 hrs or so and I should be prepared to do a 30% water change tomorrow.I'll check my water in the morning and see what happens.Cross your fingers.

So here's an update,
Everything so far is doing very well except a kenya tree died,but he had a temp spike of 5 degrees before I bought it and I think that's what did it.
I did a 20% water change the next day just in case and my water params have been fine.Ipost some new pictures later tonight.My 2 bta's are doing o.k. aswell,they are eating and hopefully they will be o.k.
