Jeez Louise, some of you are acting like I hung my cat or something. Slow down? I just got started. Haven't even had water in the tank for 24 hours. And so you don't call animal control, I don't have any fish yet (duh
) and the lr was kept as moist/wet as the day they shipped it. Some of you people are just rude and make comments w/o even asking questions or considering other factors. Sometimes this place/forum is friendly, but ask one little question (you have to ask to get answers right? vs. badgering) and the fangs come out.
Anyway, the lr was cured and put in the tank a couple of hours ago. And I do have three books that I read all the time. I just got thrown off by the lfs guy telling me to wait 4-5 hours until the salt mixed and the cloudiness disipated before putting in the live media to keep from killing it. When my tank was still cloudy 11 hours later (bed time and when I noticed the 4-5" scratch on the front of my brand new tank) I decided to wait until I spoke to the lfs guy and ask him when he came over today right after I wrote my post.
To those of you that did respond with advice on the subject at hand, I am grateful. You are the ones that make this such an informative board and a great place to hang with fellow salty freaks. To the others that have nothing else better to do than write posts intentionally trying to make people feel stupid and worse than they already feel having to make the initial post (hence the
), then get a life.
Quack, quack!
