No, all of the bacterial ecology that keeps your tank stable remains exactly where you left it -- In the rockwork, substrates and any media you are using. The idea that water carries some sort of "stabilizing" bacteria is anecdotal wuju juju

Absolutely right. I cringe when I hear of people buying tank water from the LFS to help "cycle" their new tank. If your live rock is cycled and just pulled out of one tank and immediately placed into the new tank, it should be completely fine and not require any cycling. I've tested this theory multiple times with my own tanks.

I need to do a writeup one day dispelling all the wuju juju that us reefer's seem to do out of sheer habit and misguided haplessness, haha.

Top down time!

Quick picture updates:








Some good news, a few of the Palys have started to sprout babies. At some point, I intend to upgrade the lighting to get better colors out of the corals (the rendition leaves a lot to be desired, IMO) -- but in the meantime, the fixture has been surprisingly effective at keeping the corals well-nourished.

Nice dendros do they have polyps out under lights ? I've held off getting some thinking they're drawn in when the tank is lit.
