Recommended Posts

I ve just started a 3 ft tank with sand of 3 inc and full the tank . I left it for 24 hr for the cholrine to no more. Then i added Instant Ocean salt 2 packets wit 1.022 readings also together with it i on my weipro skimmer 2012 in my sump tank.

I m not so sure weather can i add live rock now or must i wait???

PLS ADVICE.... :huh:

Add the live rocks now....it'll kick start your cycle. Think of what kind of scaping you want and go get the LRs....preferbly in 1 go. Adding new LRs ater your tank has cycled is not advisable, it'll create a mini ANN cycle again. Do you have a sump? Maybe you can list out all the equipment you have... :)

Check out Pasar Malam section, I think some bros are selling their Life Rocks (LR). If transportation is not a problem, buy from fellow bros la, help them get rid of the rocks at a much discounted price. And those rocks are usually matured cured rocks, so spare you from a lot of smell and unwanted hitch-hikers... do consider that. I can assure you a 3" tank full of uncured rocks is kinda like hell for at least 4 to 5 days! lol

I bought mine 2 weeks ago from a bro and feel happily ever after... :D
