Shark Egg: Round Two

[charles-n-charge]

I've pretty much determined that the first egg was a bad egg, there really isn't any reason it should have died. Or at least, no reason that I know of.

So, I talked to the man I bought it from, and he said he'll order another one and give it to me free of charge in about a week.
This time, I'm going the extra mile to make sure I do it right. I'm calling this "Operation: Need'a Bigger Boat".
I've set up a 10 gallon tank with R/O I produced, a very thin layer of sand from an older tank, and a couple pounds of liverock from the sump of my reef tank.
I have an airstone in a PVC tube I made to create a small circular current in the tank, and a heater to hold the temp about roughly 76f.

Hopefully I won't have any issues this time.

Any input guys? I'm open to any suggestions

Currently there are two snails, two hermit crabs, and a small starfish in the shark tank. Either tomorrow or friday should be the day when I get to go pick up the egg, and I'll begin documenting from there.

Just picked up the egg. I'll give updates when I make it home with it

Good luck

Fingers crossed... I've done everything right, levels are all perfect, and I drip acclimated for 2 hours.
If this one dies, then I pronounce myself cursed.

Also, I bought 20 ghost shrimp so that when it hatches (if it hatches) it'll have food there already.

I would water change at least once a week.

I would water change at least once a week.

I planned on doing 1/3-1/2 gallon daily changes starting next week once I feel comfortable with changing anything.
Good or bad idea?

If you have the time then go for it. You could pre make water for the week and do it every morning or night.

Luckily my RO unit and mixing tank are literally within arms reach of this tank, so doing changes daily won't be too hard
