LS from LFS question

[baylisc]

So i buy 20 lbs of live sand in a bag. when i am putting the sand in the tank do i add the water that was included in the bag to? im guessing no but figured i would ask for advice from you all
thanks

Since your tank isn't cycled yet it shouldn't make a difference.
IMO.....

would the water from the bag be better for the cycle?

The water shouldn't make a difference. It's the LR and LS that will help kick off the cycle. (die-off)

Just dump everything in cause there are bacteria also in the water from the bag. Your just starting the cycle anyhow so it won't hurt anything since you got nothing else in the tank.
