live rock live sand, new tank

[skakja]

Okay, I have read everything I can get my hands on and all is conflicting. i am setting up a 100 galloon tank. I will recieve my live rock next week and have bagged live sand now. Somethings I read say only to cycle live rock on a bare bottom tank others say to add live sand and live rock together and cycle together. So which is it? Thanks

We have always cycled the LR and LS together without any problems. Just my 2 cents/experience.

are u sure u didnt read to only cure LR in a bare bottom tank?

Yes, I guess that is what I read. So I cure the rock and then add the sand?

 

[atf88]

i would just buy alrdy cured rock, then u just set up ure tank and cycle it

I would say to add the live sand and rock together, or go ahead and add the sand then add the rock later when you get it.

I already have uncured rock on the way. So I guess I'll just add the two at the same time. If anybody knows why this won't work please let me know.
