Well my add for some live rock worked out . I met an Awesome local Reefer
RICE REEF.
It was great , looked over his amazing tank ( i mean drooled over ) for at least an hour .
I picked his brain and he was happy to try and help answer my newb questions .
He had a few small pieces of coralline coated rock .. ANd the came with a few surprises attached to them . hope they make it
Man ontop of that he grabbed a couple bristlestars for me too ..
I placed everything in the tank . turned on my lights and all sorts of stuff started appearing .. Now i see why people say that live rock is worth the risk .
So many things to instantly look at .. No idea if they are good or bad mind u .
Also nabbed up some

at the advice of some people . Applied the normal dose for starting up a tank . Turned off the skimmer like it said too .
So i guess now i will run my lights from when i get home from work till bed time . see if any of these corals make it through .
Today I also realized why going Bare bottom is so nice ,
1. i dropped a power head and created a sand storm .
2 i can see some areas on the bottom that have crap settling .. not good
.
anyway Rice Reef gave me a peek into the local group of Reefers , and all i can say is ..... I think i want in lol
gnight
