Got some uncured Florida LR. Not as impressed as I was when I first saw Florida uncured rock. I think I'll try gulf live rock next. No visible corals came on the rock and haven't seen any mobile hitchhikers yet.

I wanna put some sps on top left, anemone maybe in the middle, lps on the right bottom, zoas scattered around.
What u guys think of the rock

Yea I had the rgb color changing version so the white isn't that bright (combined colors). I tried a clip on beamswork but I think the (10000k + 460nm) temp wasn't right on it. Now have a clipon desk lamp with a 13w 6500k cfl bulb. Looking to get some chaeto and fuge seed like pods and stuff.

Waiting in the mail for phosguard to put in my reactor, bc the gfo is getting stuck in the sponge that separates the bottom from the top part that holds carbon. Also ordered some plastic Npx screens just in case.

I want to try vodka dosing. Would it be ok to just start off with like 0.1ml a day manually then gradually more? Is it ok to skip a day or. Five
