Just so I can start poking around, where do you suggest finding a decent Merc seller? I was looking at a few sights, but their never guaranteed. I don't want to accidently get a Briareus or a Vulgaris. I'm not gonna know how to tell the difference right away. Been finding some photos and saving them to my pc of what each looks like.
How long do you think I'll be ready with the 29 for a Merc? Tank has cycled for a year minimum. Had corals in there till this week. Removed everything except the huge LR piece in the center. I wanted to keep it in there, for the Merc as there is a cavern in the left front piece that my 6 line wrasse has been sleeping in. He vanished one night, and freaked me out, so I dug out the flash light and went crazy and there he was.
There is also a tunnel like entrance in and out the back of this piece of rock. One of the most unique pieces I ever saw. Only downfall is the Xenia at the top that is growing like weeds. I don't know how to remove them and put them in the other tank. I have tons more LR in my other tank, but their just stackable flat pieces. This one would be perfect except for the weeds. I may just have to say ho hum, and give it a good brushing. Can't keep much corals with a Octo anyway right?
Removing the Bioballs tomorrow. Will prob use some more of those ceramic tubes. I plan on rinsing them every 2 weeks in saltwater. I also have these small pebble type rocks in a small filter type bag that a friend gave me, and he said they work great. I may just try those.
