Looking good! You've got a lot of room for fish to swim around.

wow not in a good mood . about to go to bed And i see a little water leaking over the Stand that its on. This was a brand new tank and has had water in it for 2 days. fucking pissed i dont even know what to do now. I hope it doesnt crack all over my living room floor.

 

[buddy08]

[mtlreeffreak]

You want to fill that hydrometer all the way to the tippy top my friend.
And also look into a refractometer.

[mtlreeffreak]

any suggestions to help a good Tank cycle?

 

[Waddi]

Just throw a piece of table shrimp in, let it rot, then bring it out, should kick start things.

 

[mtlreeffreak]

a few ppl have been telling its best to introduce many fish at once instead of a few every few weeks.. Is this true?

 

[little_fish]

no, to do so would cause your tank to recycle because the amount of bacteria in your tank wouldnt be able to handle the amount of waste produced by fish. You should only add one fish every 3 weeks or so, that way your tank can adjust to the new waste level before adding more on it.

But you can add corals and other inverts as often and as many as you like

love this Forum!

 

[BL1]

+1 LF, I'll add though, there's two exceptions I'd consider to that rule ... one, if you're adding a pair, trio, or harem of fish you'd have to do so all at once. Also, if there are fish you want to add that need to be added together to reduce the risk of aggression, you'll want to do that at the same time as well.
