    Changed the substrate, now im cycling ALOT

    I dropped in a fishnet full of CC. The fishnet stockings that chicks wear. I didnt have room to fill both the legs up with CC so i just filled up one leg. It is a decent amount of CC if i had to guess since im at work i would say it is about 10-12 circumfrence and going the width of my tank...

    Changed the substrate, now im cycling ALOT

    You wil get mixed opinions on what is the best reef salt. My best answer would be do a search on AA and decide for yourself after you have read what people have said and debated back and forth on as this has already been brought up. My opinion though. I use instant ocean and birdsnest.

    Changed the substrate, now im cycling ALOT

    when i got home i tested the nitrites again and it is now 0.3-<0.3. I dont know if it is actually going down due to the cycling process winding down which i doubt or if it is because of the prime i put in to detoxify the nitrites which is my best guess. Also read my above post for further...

    do you need base rock?

    its a 75gal with i think about 50lbs but im not sure due to all the rock being given to me and never been weighed so it is an educated guess and i would like to add another 50lbs of base rock. If i have to add it over a long period of time thats fine i just dont know how long that period would be.

    do you need base rock?

    can you add base rock to an already established tank (2 year old tank in process of mini cycle due to substrate change ), but dont plan on adding until mini cycle is finished or do i need to wait for the mini cycle to finish before the base rock is added? If so how much at what rate? I want to...

    Changed the substrate, now im cycling ALOT

    I dont have as much LR as i should do to money and im thinking this could be my problem also (i think i have 50lbs. I was given the rock and never weighed it so dont know, but that is my best educated guess). Everything in my tank i have gotten for free except the rock. Im planning on buying 80...

    Changed the substrate, now im cycling ALOT

    I have a 75 gal tank and i had about a 3 to 4 inch substrate of CC for 2 years and it was a freaking nitrate factory and i wanted to get rid of it because i absolutly hated it so i decided to change it out to black aragonite sand of about 3 inches. I added a fishnet full of the CC in the tank...
