I have now spent 2 weeks with my TBS rocks.
Ammonia was always low after part 2 of the TBS was added.
I fought High Nightites and Nigtrate mainly due to a dying Red tree sponge.
I have gotten to know the LR and they have guided me to their proper postions in the tank.
I removed all but two rocks from the tank and placed them in 3 other containers and a 5g bucket. The two rocks that I did not remove were from the 1st part of the TBS rocks. They are large and they were already in their proper place. I then added the rest of the rock into the tank piece by piece paying attention to their size, shape, decorative features, and living creatures on the rock and these Hitch Hickers postion on that rock.
I wanted caves, overhangs, shelves, and the appearance of depth in this standard sized 55g tank. There is only one rock that touches the back wall of the tank so I can get good flow around all the rock.
I wanted to leave substrate in the center of the tank fairly clear.
What do you think??
