Hello,
This seems like a great forum, I am looking forward to hanging out here.
I have been away from the hobby for many years but now I have decided to pull my 125 gallon tank out of storage and set it up again.
The reason for this post: I am interested in live rock and live sand. I have not really used them before but from what I am reading I think I am very interested in trying it now.
A few questions:
• When is the best time to introduce the live rock and live sand into a new setup? Should it be in the tank before it cycles?
• I have seen many different answers to this question but I will ask it – How many pounds of live rock and live sand is needed per gallon to be most effective?
• Searching online I have seen many different types of live rocks (Fiji, Caribbean, cured, uncured, etc.). Can someone point me to a site that compares the differences (pro and cons) of each? Any recommendations?
That’s all the questions for now but rest assured that I will have more to come.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Aaron
