So im picking up a 46g bowfront tomorrow with a hob octopus skimmer. Being new to the hobby I have a couple of questions,
If I put the live rock in a large container I take with me and drain some water out of the tank to keep the rock covered then leave enough water in the tank to leave the sand covered how long can the BB live like this?
Can I add some sand to this? I will be adding some live rock from my LFS. Will the tank still be cycled and if so without any fish how do I keep it cycled? I used to dose my FW tank with pure ammonia, Can I do the same?
