Good to hear, and thanks for posting. Looking forward to pics. Sometimes it's hard to convince newcomers that this is a really good company to order from.

Now the question Journeyman. Scrub the rock before putting in my tank?...It looks great. has some sponge and other material on it. Tank is a 135g nothing but water, ls,lr.
Is this going to start my cycle over? (I can live with it)
Thanks for all the help. You are the first one that responded to my dumb questions about 6 weeks ago. Went with the dsb after your info. Your knowledge and a few others are going to pay off big in my tank.

Thanks. Glad I could help.
Yes, since the rock has die off (from shipping) it will start your cycle. That's a great way to do it. Keep an eye on your water and do water changes whenever your ammonia gets near 1ppm. Above that and the ammonia will start killing the bacteria you're trying to raise.
Once ammonia starts really falling feed the tank a bit of fish food every few days to provide food for the ammonia fixing bacteria.
Yes, scrub the rock off in a tub of saltwater. Most of the things you scrub off can come back. I use a new toothbrush for this. By scrubbing off the decaying matter you help keep your ammonia from spiking too high.
