Hi everyone,
I'm new here and in the SW world and I need some clarification about LR.
I hope you will be able to help me here's my question:
1. I've some LR with white stuff on it, I don't know what it is ?
2. I've read on the forum about a process called curing, how can I recognized cured LR versus an uncured one ?
3. The man at my local Aquarium shop told me that after 6 month my DR will be colonized is it true ?
4. How long should it take before I see purple/red algae or anything else living on my LR?
Here the state of my tank
The tank was started this Tuesday (09/14/2010)
Tank Setup
Tank Size: 20 Gal
There is no fish,coral,invertebrate(That I've put)
I've added 20 ml of Bacteria.
~20 Lbs Dead Sand bedding
10 Lbs LR
7 Lbs DR
Tank level
Temp: 79°F/26°C
Salt : 1.023
PH: 7.8
Ammonia:N/A
Nitrite:N/A
Nitrate:N/A
Calcium:N/A
FYI: I will go to local fish store tomorrow to test my water for missing parameter.
Thank you
