with every thing up and running give it 20 min then float the fish and acclimate them and you are good to go. The water might take some time to clear up all the way
Marcah,
I have never done it that way, I just put the rock on top of the sand. I use 3 or 4 in of sand and didn't want to cover the live rock with sand. do you have die off on the rock when doing that?
first thing to go in, if it is in a bag just pore it in then add your water. if it is wet or in a bucket be careful not to just let it drop in you don't want to crack it. You can add live sand from an established tank or tanks to seed it at any time.
I have moved tanks across town with no problem. the water is live so keep at least 50%
Use totes for your live rock and keep it covered with tank water.
when switching over to sand if it is not live then ask around for small amounts of live sand from an established tank or tanks to seed the...
I have the ritifers in a 5gal bucket with air in the bucket just enough to get the water moving, used a seive to scoop them out of the bucket. But after the next batch of larvae there was not enough rotifers to feed them. I have three sets of clowns that are laying and automating the rotifers...
I have a few reef tanks 120,100,and 55. My clowns have been laying eggs for some years stared raising them off and on, my biggest struggle is with the rotifers crashing will it work to automate the process of rotifers and feeding the larvae?
