hi iam in the uk and getting some lr shipped over from the states.. iam awear of die of so when it arrives what is best to do with it i know not to put it straight into my tank.. thanks
I woudl put it in a separate container or tank with a heater and a powerhead so that it can cycle through and "cure". You will need to test the water every few days to see when it is safe to add to your main tank
You don't want any ammonia or nitrites in that water. Youre basically cycling again. It could take a week or more to get to the readings you want which is 0 across the board except for nitrates, you can have those.
