After 5 days of waiting for the tank to mature enough, we added a small amount of live rock. What is live rock? You might ask..... It is pretty much rock, dead corals from the reef that has been enriched with beneficial bacterias and life forms and a few pests to help with the biological filtration. It all helps with the ecosystem of the reef tank.

After this set of rocks on the right, that we had added we found a little ((friend)) called an Aiptasia which uncontrolled can be a real problem in a reef tank, but so far we have kept the pests under control. As you can see the tank is finally starting to take form. We never in a million years thought that we would spend this much money on rocks especially the ones that don't sparkle (bling bling). Please stay tuned for stage 4!
