Hi Bro,

I am kinda of confused here. I was told by some Bros in this forum to cycle the NSW together with the LR. But, the LFS told me to cycle my NSW for a few days then add in the LR to cycle, he said it's better this way. What's your insight?

Tks.

The whole purpose of cycling the tank is to seed the live rock with bacteria. Live rocks are your bio filter media. No benefits at all to cycling an empty tank with water.

Whichever LFS gave you the advice didn't do their homework. :chair:

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

which LFS told you tt? V. interested to know.

And try not to leave your LR out of water for so long. If really need to be out of water for such a long time, Wrap newspaper around your rocks and wet the newspaper. It's just a temporary measure. Remember to wash your LR in saltwater after tt or u will have shredded newspaper flying ard in your tank.

Say until like tt I have to assume is one of our sponsors. :ph34r: Did you interpret their answer wrongly? I really can't think of any LFS that would give this instruction. Maybe what they meant was you should aerate your newly mixed saltwater for 24-48hrs?

It's an ok skimmer. Have to take not that the skimmer will only run optimally at constant waterline. So if you are not running a sump, will have to either monitor your evaporation rate closely or get an auto water top up.

Hi Bro,

I got these green, purple/red, white algae on my live rock. Do i have to do anything to it etc.scrape? Will it go away after the cycle?

Thanks.

These are desirable coraline algae. a lot of hobbyist prefer to have them in their tanks.

The hairy green algae are those that you need to brush off with a toothbrush if you see them.

Maybe he was saying run your tank with NSW 1st..... then go back to LFS and get the LR to put it into the tank after a few days.

and NOT setup the tank, leave the rocks outside of the tank for a few days then put LR into the tank.
