I finally got a good deal on a 55g. tank, was wanting to go a little bigger but the price was right. I added about 4 inches of live sand mixed with a bag of c.c. and have my salt levels where it need's to be. I am now letting my tank settle but the question I have is I've heard mixed opinions on when to add the live rock? One guys telling me to add all of it in about four days and let the tank cycle with it. Another person is telling me to let the tank sit for about a month while adding small amounts of fish food, or just putting a few damsel fish in there to let them help with the cycling, and adding live rock in intervals (1-2 about every week to 2 weeks)
Just curious if anybody knows if any way is better? or if it's a time issue I don't mind the wait (need to let my bank account catch back up, they were'nt kidding about the addictive and spendy part about this hobby)
Also I have a Amiracle bio-ball trickle filter. just curious if anybody has attempted to put some kind of water supply directly to it using a float to moniter the levels, I know enough to stay away from the copper line and use the plastic line, is there any type of float that would work for this purpose, I havent seen any without some type of metal on them, is there any metal that could work? ex brass? Please let me know, and wish me luck!
