ok im back i went at the rock creating a 5" diameter rock with a flat bottom, a small 3" diameter rock sorta like a triangle and the main rock is now about 9" diameter with a nice flat side which could now stand up

 

[ronk]

Good job. I am sure it will come out great

 

[Epuerto]

now i need the sand 40lbs would do right, the tank is a corner so it doesent have as much floor area as it does height

 

[Epuerto]

I found this website do you think this is a good idea 2 get, or should i go with live rock and sand?
40 Pound box Key Largo Rock, <br>40 Pounds Bahamas Aragonite Sand<BR>Free Shipping<br> *in the continental US*<br>(*All sand ships USPS priority mail*) - KL40-40

 

[carey]

From what I hear live sand is a scam. But that's just me.

 

[Epuerto]

ha , just water in a bag of sand lmao, but do you think thats a good deal i do
and i dont think its live sand but just sand

[Epuerto]

just seen your other thread =/

Lol that was like my first every post and it didn't seem 2 post when i did it so i made another one.

 

[Epuerto]

I just ordered 40 pounds of rock and 40 pounds of sand for my tank should be here in like 2 or 3 days cant wait what do you think of using bacteria supplements 2 start the cycling process?

 

[carey]

Nope. Mostly a waste. Go with the fishless cycling.

 

[Epuerto]

my nearest fish store is 1hr away so i called my petco, which is huge if they could hold them they said no

 

[Epuerto]

how bout adding a shrimp lotta people say its good

 

[carey]

You can still cycle with the fish you'll just have to keep the ammonia level to zero with pwc's and close monitoring. It can be done

 

[Epuerto]

i mean a dead shrimp.
i dont have anywhere 2 give my fish 2 i think ima post a ad on craigslist free damsels

 

[carey]

It's up to you. It just will take longer and mean more work to cycle with the fish. if you do give them away make sure some dumb "blank" doesn't take them to cycle their tank.

 

[Epuerto]

i think my damsels killed off my other fish tho since they are the only ones

 

[carey]

LOL Could be they are nasty. It's entirely up to you. Do you not want them anymore? Is it possible to drive that hour to the other pet store? he might give u some store credit for fish that you actually want.

 

[hackteck]

fishless cycle is the way to go definately
