Hi guys........My tank's (75g) has been up for a week now. Only 5# of LR in tank so far. I have 45 to 50 # of cured LR to put in when I pick it up from established tank.
water par. are
ph 8.0
sg 1.023
amm. 0.5
trites 2
trates 20
Should I wait for tank to finish cycle, or do you think it is OK to put the other LR in tank now? (new LR is 5 minutes away).
:notsure:

I'd agree...go ahead and add it...but if the new LR is well cured there may be a potential for die off so insure you closely monitor the water chemistry and be ready to do a few water changes if ammonia gets out of control. If steps are taken to control the ammonia spike then the new LR may not suffer too much.:thinking:
