Hey Guys..
I had a 46 Gallon fish and live rock tank. I bought the tank and it was already established. I had the tank for two months with no problems. I bought a new house and when I moved I decided it was time to upgrade.
I bought a nice 90 gallon tank with a corner overflow. However, something went wrong when I did the upgrade and the algea growth went crazy, the fish seemed to get sick and everything went to hell. Out of frustration I shut the whole thing down.
Right now I have dry sand and about 60 pounds of dry live rock (now base rock - completly white).
I have got the itch and I'm ready to start my tank over again.
My plan right now is to fill up the tank.....
-Use existing sand
-Fill up tank
-Use the 65 pounds of the base rock I have
-buy about 35 pounds of live rock to see the base rock with
-but a few pounds of live sand to seed the sand
-sit back and let the tank cycle
-add a clean up crew
-wait for it to clean up to make it nice
-add some fish and enjoy!
sound good?
