Personally I wouldn't bring them back from the beach and put them in my tank. There is no telling what is on/in them. You could try boiling them, but you still risk contamination of metals, like copper.marty_wolff said:I have access to shells from the ocean so would be ok if i used those instead? or would they bring in chemicals and other bad things?
Once you cycle is complete, you can add your inverts. Inverts tend to be very intolerant of poor water conditions. I like to drip acclimante mine for at least 2 hours.marty_wolff said:How long does my tank need to cycle before I can add inverts?
That sounds good to me. I am planning on 150Lbs to 100:bs base/LR. The ratio will depend on how long it will take the coraline to "migrate" from the LR to the base.marty_wolff said:how does the ratio 75lbs or base rock to 20lbs of LR?
