Achilles Tang Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 why 1 week after? And not at the same time? Coral Clams, what's the logic and theory behind your advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member metals99 Posted August 25, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 25, 2003 i would only put liverocks after 3 weeks cycling after the raw market prawn process and when ammonia low to 0.. only put fish after 4 months after putting some corals in i mean only mushrooms or finger leather..

SRC Member IcecruncherZ Posted August 25, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 25, 2003 Canisters filters are a whole lot of trouble. Overflow filtration systems are so much easier to maintain. (At least thats what i feel after using both, no offense to canister filter users) The market prawn method of cycling is definitely feasible, but the smell and water... my mom was pissed manz... Haha~ There is actually no need to wait to add the liferock. There are bound to be die offs on the rock whether or not it has been cured by the LFS. Liferock is a good way to kick off the cycling process. The internet has lots of resources on cycling methods. Read through them and choose the method which suits you best. ps. there are many other cheaper places to get lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMF1980 Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 What abt Pl light guys can it be use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Sinn Posted August 26, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 26, 2003 pl lights/t5s is recommended for a 2 footer if u intend to keep corals.. if its a fish only with live rock tank, an normal FL is sufficient.. most pple recommend natur* aquarium at thomson area for its cheap cheap prices.
