Thanks for the compliments, 6 weeks ago I didn't think I'd be successful in mixing salt and water!

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

Thanks again all, I'd like to get some more of it, but it is my understanding I have to add slowly now that my tank is cycled. The place I got it from is four hours away, so if I'm going to make another trip I'd like it to be for a large batch again. I'm just wondering if I can cycle in a rubbermaid, and how much more would fit in my tank and still look good. There is 50 lbs in there now, it is pretty light stuff

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

You sure can cure it in a rubbermaid tub and then add it to your tank when it's done curing. I would add another 50 lbs. I like the way 2 lbs per gallon looks.
