So over the last few days I have gotten a new-to-me 29 gallon tank and stand into my basement, emptied, cleaned up (mostly) and set up.
I went out tonight and got 30 gallons of saltwater from my LFS, but they were out of the live sand, can i add sand after the water is already in the tank?
Also I got a bunch of live rock to go in my tank, but when i got it home I discovered that it has aiptasia all over it :/ so that is currently soaking in buckets if bleach. Since the bleach will kill everything in the rock, would a new piece of cured live rock from my LFS be enough to seed the old rock?
I plan to do a fishless cycle and use a raw shrimp in a stocking that most people seem to do, but i will not be able to get the shrimp until tomorrow or monday, does that mean my cycle will not start until i add it to the water?
There is also some white stuff on the glass that i cant seem to get off, anyone have any ideas?
Any help and suggestions would really be appreciated, thanks everyone!
