Alright, here go the questions. I have a 35gl hex tank, and plan on having a freshwater setup. I may start the cycle with a couple of fish, maybe convicts. I inherited all the stuff from my brother in law who hadn't used the stuff in 3 yrs. No filter just tank, stand and rocks (coral). I rinsed the rocks in freshwater and then soaked them for a week in salt water no filter or pump. I also had tap water sitting in the tank for about 2 weeks no treatment no filter or pump. Should I keep this water or start fresh? Also while cleaning the rock, on a couple of the lava rocks I have found some green bushy growth that feels very fresh. Will it grow in the tank or probably not (he had a freshwater setup too). The rocks I have some have a greenish tint to them, some are white and some are yellowish and a couple of Lava rock looking ones too. I was in San Diego last week and picked some shells from the beach by the ocean. I hope to be able to put them in the bottom of the tank. Are there any precautions I have to take or how do I have to clean them? Ok, I know I will have a lot more questions but these will get me started. I found this site and think you all have the best advice around so I feel in good hands.
Thanks for all the help, I can't wait to start.
