I’m reusing old sand. Trying to keep to a budget, even though I know using old sand is a risk. Rising old sand and then adding it in, taking a while. I’ll run it for a while and Test for phosphate. I plan to add some CUC and maybe a fish or two in about 2 weeks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would highly suggest keeping the tank as dark as possible while cycling. This will help insure the rock will develop a bio film on it to keep algae from taking hold on the rock and keep any algae from growing due to high nutrients from the cycle. Shut off those lights for the first month.

Thank you for the suggestion. So far the snails have taken care of any algae that has grown. I will definite keep that in mind and reduce lights or turn off if I’ve got excessive algae growth Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I bought the sump, need to go pick it up and start plumbing it Yep, wanted to have less water to change while I get the pod population mature, sponges growing on the live rocks. Figured it’s going to take a good 3-6 months before chemistry is stable for adding livestock. Basically cooking rocks Quote:
