Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello !
Great forum you have here.
Well, I'm about as excited as can be, as i've just ordered a new custom 40x20x24 glass aquarium to get started with ! Also on the way are a pair of Fluval 306 cannisters, a Python clean & fill, an API master test kit, a couple bottles of Prime, and some other assorted accesories.(also plan on purchasing ammonia for the fishless cycle).
I have a couple pieces of great looking driftwood soaking as I type, and am planning on getting three bags of Mystic White II pool filter sand for the substrate.
Heres where the questions come in ! I have a beautiful 4" goldfish that has been calling a half whiskey barrel\fountain home for about a year and a half, and now I'm planning on bringing him in, along with getting him some friends in the new set up.
#1. When I go to do the fishless cycle, can I use material from the whiskey barrel for the starter bacteria ?
#2. I just stumbled upon some rock on the internet that I have not seen before called Rundle Rock that I really like the look of, and was wondering if it is aquarium safe ?
#3.Am I overlooking anything I might need for getting started ?
Thanks in advance,
Don
