    water transfer

Would the 10 gallons of cycled water be enough to cycle my 20 gallon tank right away? Or would I have to wait another few weeks for it to cycle...

    Cycling new ten gal with very min live rock.

    Naw the krill I just did now, hours ago. I may add another tiny piece tomorrow but I believe this will do it. The live rock was just too alive, so it didn't release ammonia quickly. I'm not saying the live rock wouldn't work, I'm just saying it hasn't so far and literally has had 0 spikes in the...

    Cycling new ten gal with very min live rock.

    Ok so I am cycling another 10 gallon, I have about 5 pounds of live rock in the corner, very minimal. At the moment I have put frozen krill into a sock and am dangling it infront of the filter flow to hopefully spread it out through the tank. Since this is frozen krill though I assume it will...

    40 gal breeding question

    How many clownfish can I fit into one 40 gal? I want to fit 500 clownfish from fry to 1 and 1/4th inch size?? anyone think this is possible or should I just go for 300 or 400 So far I have raised 100 in 10 gallon, so following the simple pattern I'd guess 400.

    Question about water conditioner.

    No I just mean if the water conditioner would hurt the live rock directly. The water is already filtered well R/O filter, but I Forgot to add the water conditioner... It's like double safety. The live rock is already in there but the water is already filtered.

    Question about water conditioner.

    You're positive it won't affect the instant ocean formula? Or the live rocks?

    Question about water conditioner.

    If I add water conditioner after I added in the instant ocean, would it do anything wrong? I understand I am supposed to add it first, that is not possible at this moment.The tank is all set up but no fish.
