Either after or during refilling. I do it afterwards. I've had African, and South American cichlids, for over thirty years. It won't hurt them for a few minutes. Unless you have a very large tank you should be able to fill it up very fast with a python.

I have an Oscar that is 16 years old and a Jack Dempsey that is a little less. I bought them within a few months of each other and they've survived numerous moves. The Red Devil I also bought with them just died about six months ago. I have several saltwater fish over ten years old.

Mine is in a cave like structure and gets low to moderate light. It has grown real fast. Just feed it silversides.

How do you guys get it to sink? I tried that as ice cubes and they floated. Later I had to use the PVC method.

Beerman says: Don't wash it. You'll lose the small, valuable particles. Add liverock before the cycle, not after, or it will cycle again. 6" of sand for maximum dsb benefit.

Tenecor is a ripoff.

IMO that's too many fish. I would cut it down to less then half that. I would also make salt. Too much risk of impurities since it won't dilute like the ocean.

I got mine from www.purearagonite.com. I found the same thing as you regarding e-mails. I had to call him. Very helpful on the phone.

I wouldn't get an anenome until your tank is 1 year old. You may want to upgrade your lights too.

Those two dwarfs in a 55 is not a good idea.

I've gone a week several times between feedings for South American Cichlids because of work. Two weeks is pushing it. They'll live but will be pretty pissed at you when you return.

I would get a Euro-reef. Very wide. Very expensive though, but most good things are in this hobby.

With a Rio it was just a matter of time.
