This is my 2nd tank and I'm making sure I do things the right way this time since I know so much more than with the 1st one. I read it some where that when curing LR have the lights off for a while then gradually increase the lighting over time so there's no algae outburst but I can't remember the exacts on doing this. My LR should arrive today.
Also, I have 60 lbs (full 5 gal bucket) of sand for my 55 gal tank, how deep do you think that will make my sand bed? I'm assuming 2-3 inches.
Also, will curing my 50 lbs of LR be enough to start my nitrogen cycle?
