77G Reef Tank first wobbly step
So, tomorrow is the big day. I'v had my tank set up for 2 weeks now, and I'm reasonably happy with the temp and water conditions thus far. I'm going into Edmonton this weekend to buy 90lbs of cured (2 months) Live rock. A mixture of Fiji and Tonga I'm told. Nice stuff growing on it already.... Poylps, and Featherdusters.... plus nice shades of coulor to it.
He said I could come over and pick what I liked (Reefwerkz btw). Now I'm going to do this Saturday night 8pmish or so..... I can't get back to my tank with it till approx 10am the next day...... I'm already scared. We'll pack it in water from his tank and I'll have a powerhead in the container all night.... Even so I'm still scared. Details to follow.

If it's packed in water with circulation & the temp doesn't fluctuate too much, you should be fine. Just make sure you test the water quality for the next couple of weeks at least. If there is a spike, with cured LR transported that way, the spike should be small.
Good luck.

 The rock should be fine, esp. with water and a powerhead. Many times we carry it just in a salt bucket, a bit of water and lots of wet newspaper wrapping the rock. If needed a small Canadian Tire inverter will power a powerhead and small 50w Ebo heater. I have transported a lot of livestock that way.

I just got back from the city and placed the rock in my tank. I'll be borrowing my Brother-in-Law's Canon Digital EOS to take pics of the setup thus far tonight.....
Good coraline growth on rocks, and some small poylps, and a couple of crabs as hitch hickers... thought about dumping them because I didn't know what they were, but then tossed them into the tank with everything else.... we'll see if that was a wise move or not.
