I ordered a new Iwaki pump and plumping for less flow and 4 new T5 bulbs. I Bought 1 6000K, 2 11000K, and 1 420mn bulb
For the Substrate I need to order Eco-Complete. For a 40G tank how many bags do I need?
What is the preferred test kit for freshwater?
Do I need additive / fertilizer in the beginning stages and if so what do I get?
Cycling,
I’ve read here that you cycle the tank with the plants in the tank. I just want to verify the steps so I don’t make any mistakes.
I’m use to just using LiveRock from the ocean and a dead dinner shrimp to get everything going.
So can someone list of the steps please.
If there is anything I’m missing please let me know.
