i just ordered some LR offline that is suppose to have all type of coraline and life on it. If i put it in my DT is it going to start my cycle over? or will it be ok since it is live
If its coming from a good distance away,and is being shipped to you,99% chance it will have some die-off.I would not add it to your tank right away.Plus,you never know what the heck could be hitching a ride with it.You should always QT any and everything you plan on putting in you DT,unless its dry
I dunno about temp. There was a seller in VA that kept his LR in a huge tub in his backyard. He would just maintain salinity on it and let the sun be the light and a pump for flow.
the rock i ordered should only be jsut out of the ocean for 3 days and is suppose to arive alive. if i put it in the sump and wait fot hitchhikers is that a good option? i dotn want to kill the good life or even the non-reef friendly life.
