Hello again, I started a 29 gallon back in June, and the cycle and curing of the live rock is now done. Here's pics from back then. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/359875/new-introduction/20 Last week I added a few snails, a few Hermits, and an Emerald Crab to start the clean up crew to work...

Well,as promised here are a couple of pics of the tank about 4 days into the cycle. 50 pounds of live rock, no sand as of yet. Water has a slight yellow tint so I'll get some carbon to clear that up. Let me know what you think. Robert

Katsafados, Thanks I got the pics, Nice looking tank, what size is it. I've got the 50 pounds of LR in mine, no sand yet, and it seems pretty full. The rock I got was fairly large pieces. Once I get cycled, I'll have to see about making some smaller I guess, I don't know. I'll try to post a pic...

Sound like the cycle is just about the same as freshwater, but I must admit that I was suprised to see the nitrites and nitrates this high after only 48 hours. In fresh water its slow, and nitrites and nitrates take days to show up after the ammonia starts. And the ammonia gets high before they...

That's what I thought, Thanks....... Robert

Meowzer, RO from walmart is probably OK too, I just didn't want to go there. (really hate walmart, but that's another story ) Anyway, another question, since my Nitrates are 80 (from 0 after only 48 hours) , and the Nitrite is 1 Ammonia looks to be 0 to .25, How high should I let the Nitrates...

Distilled water is pure water, and untill I'm able to get a RO/DI unit it's my only choice. According to here it should be OK, if it's not please correct me. *** I am very sorry but links to other forums and/or other stores are not allowed n this site. I am sure that you didn't know -Sep I also...

Hello, I'm Robert, and have lurked here for a couple months. I've found great info, and have started a 29 Gal tank. I've had freshwater for years and thought I'd give this satlwater thing a try. I've been getting equipment a little at a time, and just set up my tank. I wasn't qiuite ready to...
