Just wanted to add, I did do a 20% water change on the advice of someone on here

Hi...I am in the same boat a bit earlier. I am in the process of cycling my tank. I met a pretty knowledgable member on here that gave excellent advice but he is not on today and I have the time to mess around with the tank. here is what I posted him. Any advice anyone? Hi...I got a testing...

my skimmer has a biobale and the media is kind of old so I left it in. I am off to do a water change I guess.

yes, the UP...so very remote to supplies. My closest SW store is 90 miles away!

I have no access to more LR...I have a bak-pak II protein skimmer running that does have a powerhead and filter system. How much water should I change. 20%??

Ok...my name is Stacy and I am from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have resurrected an old very good condition 45H gallon tank. Started with Instant Ocean and 40lbs of live rock from Foster n Smith and a Bak-Pak II Protien Skimmer. Ran for one week and added 50 lbs of Marco Rock..one day...

getting started? Thanks for the warm welcome, I guess I am really a rookie, I will have to try and find the forum you are talking about.
