ya see that tiny rock by itself? it'll probably fit where the sponge is. can i add it like that or must it be 'rubbled' ? 
i was thinking of setting the carbon in for 2-3 days since i had used treated tap water... i plan to find RO water before doing anything else with the water. i'm sure the guy at this small LFS can hook me up, although i wouldn't by any livestock from him.
:OT:
his tanks are horrible. did i mention that he was taking HANDFULS of dead freshwater fishies out of a filter inlet when i visited? he's a long time of experience, but it all looks like bad experiences to me. got an anenome in one tank and is proud of it, but i think it's not so healthy, but again... i'm new at this.

Man watching THIS thread makes me want to go buy a ten or fifteen Gallon and start my own....although there tend to be a tad bit more work the smaller you go.

You have a 240gal with only 1 fish? What's the cleanup crew cleaning up?
Tiny has gotten himself stuck in the same spot of LR twice now. while poking around to get him out of the crevice i knocked some rumble off my main rock. it's weak in so many spots. i could prob get a lot off of there. should i try to break free the loose stuff? won't be enough for filter usage. let the few pebbles stay in the sand or pull 'em out? hrmph!
oh i found your thread. you just started that tank. sweet. btw, that pic isn't showing anymore. host server remove it?
No I have a more than one fish lol hmmm lets see. I have....
9 Green chromis (one died yest, due to being a bad fish to begin with since I bought 5 more and he was the only fish that died. Making this my 1st SW death
)
1 Lawnmower Bleenie
1 Royal Gramma
1 Sea Urchin
1 Bristle Sea star (black, or are they called sand shifting seastars? Oh and Gman Im using sea star and not star fish arent you proud? :huh: )
1 True percula (trying to get a bubble tip for him to host since he DOES host, sole purpose in getting him from the LFS)
1 False Percula (both doing really well)
1 Naso tang (QT)
1 Vlamingi Tang (QT)
1 Regal Tang (QT) all juvies
1 green star polyp
1 frag of mushroom purple
1 frag of xenia
1 leather (trying to get rid of)
1 rock of fuzzy/hairy mushroom
1 rock of purple mushrooms
1 frag of polyps brown
1 frag of polyps green
Tons of snails (nassarias, HUGE TURBOS, margeritas, something called green eyes something or other)
inverts crabs (sally, emerolds)
shrimp inverts (cleaners, peppermints)
theres prob some other stuff in there but I prob forgot since I need to make a list and see exactly how much of each I really do have in my tank.
Im currently trying to find a good angel to be the next fish to go into QT im thinking a Flame angel.
I wanting to find a pistol and a watchman goby (i think its crazy how they interact)
wanting to up my school of chromis to 15-20
wanting to add more live rock (ontop of the 300+ lbs I already have in there now)
and more coral!!!!!
whew I cant fit all of this on my siggy, so maybe I should change the sig to a link to this page what you think? lol
also I need to update that thread and post pics somewhere that show up since im using Yahoo, and it suxz for file sharing
