Sep 10, 2013 #82 Marinne13 Northern Reefer I added LR last weekend straight from the ocean...should have live bacteria in it, just frustrating
Sep 11, 2013 #83 Marinne13 Northern Reefer So I have put some food in a net in my tank, I don't think I had enough of an ammonia spike to feed for the nitrites hopefully my livestock survives on my LR
