Introduction of new LR...

[svengal]

Ok...I would like to add a few more lbs of LR to my 40g. Right now I have about 45lbs. What is the best way to introduce LR bought online, without having all the die off in shipping result in increased ammonia levels once I put it in. FYI, I do not have a sump.

You should cure it in a seperate container first .... if not the die off from shipping will start another cycle.
