Live Rock

[Reefscape]

i used, salt called instance ocean.

If a damselfish is agressive i dont want it, i would like a peaceful commuinity tank. What would be a hardy fish to help cyle.

If those are featherdusters, will the die, spread or what will happen. There is also a few more, like little cups, greens and different colors.

You dont need a fish to cycle your tank. All you need is a medium sized raw prawn / shrimp, wrap it up in a fine mesh cloth or pantyhoes and drop it in the tank. This will then produce a great ammonia source, and when the ammonia has peaked and starts to fall, you can remove it as its job is done. People do use fish to cycle a tank, and most LFS will gladly sell you a damsel or 10 to cycle your tank. However, its very inhumain and cruel as the ammonia burns the gills on the fish...

You will see lots of life forms appear on the rock, some will survive the cycle, some wont...They will however return when the tank settles and the water parameters are all back to normal...

After i have put the live rock in the tank, there is a fogish like substance in the tank, is this normal?

That will just be the gunk that has built on the rock, you get this if its not washed off before going into the tank. If will soon dissapear...nothing to worry about there...
