Both worked...or made sounds at least. Didnt try the AC70 tho, that needs water

[Gboy66]

Oh, the AC 70 gave us foam, carbon, and like bio max? In the box. Should i use it all? I know ill need chemipure, but what else? Thanks

[TLTGF]

Glad to see everything come together - point the PH's at an angle so their currents would meet at the middle of the front glass. Also tilt them up to promote surface agitation... You will adjust many times until its right, so until there is water, don't fret.

Also, just preference, but the wire protectors are only really needed if you have triggers or puffers with "beaks" that could damage the cord... No harm to leave them though.

Well, im hoping to try and get the live rock on christmas, then immediatly start the cycle. Hopefully if all goes well, we will add my first fish/ inverts the middle of january!

[stingrays4]

Hi good luck and obviously keep us posted on your progress

[Gboy66]

Thankyou! Nothing too new will be happening for awhile im afraid, untill i can get my live rock!

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Okay i have been thinking, could i add a blue tuxedo urchin to the tank? I hear they are reef safe and dont need a ton of light... Is it possible??

[stingrays4]

Hi good luck for when you do get started afraid i have know idea about the urchin The only urchin i had done well and yes do not require light? But tricky to feed i believe?

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Haha okay thanks!! I will try and do more research!

[stingrays4]

Hi good luck with your research Where do you do your research?

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Well i have been googeling urchins for a while! And i really like them!

[KAhner]

I'm not sure but I think most, if not all, urchins will strip your tank of coralline algae. So if you want them purple rocks and back glass u might wanna reconsider.

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Ohhh i didnt know that! Thanks for the info

[Gboy66]

Ok, we have two extra 10 gallon tanks, and was thinking we need to make it a QT tank for the saltwater tank, because ich is harder to treat and more common in sw correct? But, i dont know how to do this! The qt cant be permanent, but only up for when we have the fish, and only up for that week or two. Dont you need 2 filters to instantly cycle the 10 QT? we have 2, could someone tell me how to do this? Thanks!
