The tank will be empty. That makes complete sense. So i should mix the water and get the PH going for a couple of days to make sure it is mixed right before adding anything. Sounds easy. next question. How do i mix it once the tank is running? Mix it in the buckets and then mearsure it?

Hello, I am talking about LR. sorry not coral. I will give it a quick scrub today and get it cycling for the next month. then once the tank level are settled I will try and add more live rock from a heathly tank. Maybe that can help this live rock. Do you think that might help?

Thanks for the advise. I will try using a brush tonight and scrub the coral down and they just cycle it for 2-3 months. the should get the stong enough and get all the level down.

Just a correction. I am in no rush to get the tank started. I just want to make sure the coral is stong before i dropping in fish.

Great advise. What is the best way to scrub the rock? I am in now rush to get the tank started. If it taked 3-4 months to cycle and get life going. That will be fine by me. I have a friend who has a healty Salt water tank and he has offered to give me some healty Coral to add to my...
