Cool setup. Did they test the water at all?

Nope not in boston. If they open the bag i heard is. Bad for them.. they looked at it.. i took the rocks out and they put it through the X-rays and the hot pack... it couldn't be a gel hot pack. good thing i got like a beads one.

How much rubble is it? A couple pieces isn't enough. Use some kind of bacteria kick-starter.  When I have set up tanks in a rush, I used a standard amount of liverock in them, and used Probibio Biodigest to kickstart bacteria growth (I'm sure there are less expensive options).

Dumb question: you microwaved the water before you put the fish in?

 

TSA did not open the bag?! They could easily have told you that you can't bring liquid thru security.

Ha! No, I think that he microwaved the heat pack. It was one of those kind that you can buy at the drug store that has moisture beads in it. You put them in the microwave and they warm up to provide moist heat to aching muscles.

I Microwaved a heat pack lol... i bought live sand and i got about 3lbs of rubbish rocks i only got clown fishes for now... wont be adding anything for about 1 month maybe... i also got some small rocks about 6-7 pieces i will be taking a pic of tank and posting it here this weekend... also i had a tsa

Friend help me through.. of course they did their job... they opened rocks bagged....there is no. Need to open bag with fishes in them.. you can clearly see through the clear bag... it could of killed them if they did that... the heat pack you want to get is the one with beads and not the gel beads ones...

Wow man, hopefully they make it thru the cycle....for future it would be alot safer to have the tank set up and cycled before you get fish

They should be good i put 5 caps in of seachem stability and i put live sand in there and food and rubbish rocks enough to hold them down and ammonia is under 0.02 ppm. Will also put 1 cap in the tank for 7 days.

Get an ammonia badge and put it in the tank to continuously monitor for ammonia. That's likely going to be your biggest threat. Get some more fully-cycled live rock in their, too. 

 

In a pinch, you can find an ammonia badge at PetSmart
