    New tank questions

    That would depend on what you're adding to the tank, I would recommend buying some bacteria and/or "Sechems" New Tank Stabilization System" Normally it takes about a month for a tank to cycle.

    ***** Using Cyanide?!

    I just reread the posts in this thread. People - In order to catch these fish, they put a small amount of cyanide into the water to stun the fish - easy catching as opposed to catching them without it. ONLY BUY Net Caught fish... Otherwise you're wasting your $30 - $100 per fish. Buying fish...

    ***** Using Cyanide?!

    Potassium cyanide to stun fish. That is why people are always telling others to make sure the fish are CERTIFIED and/or NET CAUGHT. Only buy netcaught fish otherwise they are going to die.

    Tank still cloudy from sand!

    Wait it out and/or get a particle skimmer and/or a diatom filter to help clear the water. You may also want to get water clarifier from seachem which will make all the tiny particles in the water fuse together into clumps, then your filter will remove it. It is safe for reef and fish.
