can u get bionic 2 part calcium alkilinity ? also your tank wont use alot of those trace elements . if you are not going to test for iodine dont add it. it could be more of a headache then any thing. waterchanges go a long way .

you can hold off on the light till you add corals or want the pink and purple to realy come out. you can cut back on lighting for a week or so if you dont want a bloom.

boss, how much LR u puttin in the 65? and what type?

I've been looking at branch tonga for some time, but I like the multi colors on fiji roack as well, but Im still leaning towards the branch tonga, maybe mix it with some base rock - - tonga as well . . .as far as how much - -I predominantly stick to the FOWLR theory but use more LR than most so right now i'm figureing on 40 lbs of LR and 40 lbs of live sand - -80 lbs total - -might bump the LR up a bit with some hand picked "custom" lookiong pieces for the top - -I am going to try the suspended rock look that Pimp and I were talking about as well - - so we'll see, lol , Boss

as of yet I havn't added any type of chems for the live rock, I do weekly 10% water changes and "dust"/ blow everything off daily with a Turkey baster.....the rock was pretty "low grade" another quality purchase from a crappy money hungry LFS,lol, hinde site is 20/20 - I'm just now getting some really nice bright green spots on it ....even see a couple coraline spots trying to emerge. I think i will try the B-ionic in the next few weeks, i wanna let the new fish get comfy for a while first but definately will use it with the stuff I order for the 65G when the time comes as it seems to be pretty nice quality rock....Boss
