mskohl I did not have much of a cycle. The ammonia never got above 0.1 ppm. Following the instructions that came with the rock I swished each rock in the water it came in and smelled it for dead stuff. All of the rock smelled fresh. I did not see any die off.
I was looking at the peppermint shrimp last night with a flashlight and noticed one of them has an egg mass on its abdomen. This should be cool to see what happens. The big gorilla crab that I put in my fuge had the same thing. The egg mass is gone now and I only noticed a few baby crabs made it to the main tank. Most of those that made it are probably gone now. I bet the mantis shrimp enjoyed that.
