Aquarium Advice Activist
The issue came up yesterday about water changes on an initial setup. There was some differences of opinion and I need some advice since I will be starting my first tank here in about three days.
Here is my set up;
55 g corner tank
130w PC
4"DSB
75 pound of live rock.
The major argument was that partial water changes should be done during the cycling process to avoid the ammonia spike that may kill off critters on the live rock that will be beneficial later.What are peoples thoughts on this?
How much and how oten of water change should I do?
Last question is do I put the live sand in at the very beginning or wait until the nitrates level off?
Please help
