Rock Curing...
Got the rock on Wednesday. Soaked in RODI overnight. Changed water.
Dosed both bins with SeaKlear on Friday. Tested water with Hanna checker Low Range just now. Bin 1 = 0.02 Bin 2 = 0.05 I guess I will start soaking in saltwater. |

Are you starting a new tank or is it going into an exsiting tank? If it's a new tank build I would put it in the new set up and get the tank cycling!

im assuming its an existing tank because if it wasn't you could have started right away. I think its time to start soaking in saltwater. You should dose the tub with some phosphate remover a day before you put this in your tank.

It's a new tank. i can't cure it in the tank as the tank isn't ready. Need to install my overflow box, my elbows, and test the plumbing before I move it into the house. I spent about $1,000 this week, just need sand and my lights and will be ready.
I added some salt to the brute containers, and will by starting the bacteria buildup off the decaying matter. |
