Re: Putter's first tank

I'd go a head and do a pretty good water change,then get a fish or 2 in there as soon as you can.I doubt you'll lose any bacteria,but it wouldnt hurt to something for it to eat either.

Re: Putter's first tank

Throw a teensy amount of fish food in there while you waiting to stock it.That should keep the bacteria population going until then.

Re: Putter's first tank

Thanks guys, fed it a little food tonight, will do a 20% water change tomorrow night and then stock it next week if things go as planned, by then the snails will have lots to eat as I can now see alot of algae growth. In fact I need to take a picture of this one rock, it has green circles growing on it...almost like little mini buttons....looks kinda cool.

Re: Putter's first tank

Re: Putter's first tank

Looks more like some kind of encrusting coral to me.Is kind of a funny color though.

Re: Putter's first tank

Re: Putter's first tank

I was hoping it was something other than algae, It has the appearance of a small button, will have to try more photos once the water clears up a bit more and or I obtain a new camera.
