I moved recently and figured what better time to take my 150 gallon tank and make the switch from FW over to SW. So i moved the beast this weekend. I put it in my finished basement, after 3 days of letting my recover.haha i think i'm about ready to start my process!

I traded some monsters in i had 2 14" spotted aligator gar pike's and about a 10" tiger oscar. they were great hardy fish but to aggressive. i couldn't put anything in the tank. Even a placastums(sp? algae eater) they eventually eat that guy!


Anyway, i've been reading like crazy and getting ready to do the set up! i'm gonna do a fish only maybe some live rock(i think that's refered to as FOWLR) the local shop got me going with all the basic equipment, but i still have a few questions. as of now just 1 main one...


I plan to "cure" some live rock in during my set up process, i've read it's a good thing to start with some live rock. it says i need to have my jet's blow directly on the rock for water movement. Do i just let them hang and direct them towards the rock? i can't seem to find any pictures of this process.


Thanks and i'm sure you guys are just as helpfull as the reptile sister site here!
