Shortcut To Setup 2nd Marine Tank?


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

I got 4ft existing marine tank which is fully cycled.

I just setup another 4ft marine tank yesterday.

contents of my new tank :

1) live sand direct from the sea (brought home soaked in seawater)

2) live rocks direct from the sea (brought home soaked in seawater)

3) existing cured live rocks from my existing marine tank

4) cannister filter from my existing marine tank

Will my tank still have an ammonia spike?

Nh3 is currently zero.

errrrrr do i need to cycle this tank?How long will it take to cycle ?

GC,

Yes, there will be ammonia spike. I think you still need to cycle, although your duration may not be longer than 1 week. There are bound to be die offs when you transfer here and there, and better give time for the beneficial bacteria to repopulate your LR before you add any livestocks. Kenapa? Tak tahan aa?
