Salt Water Start Up, Darbex style!

[Darbex]

Does anyone know of where I can get the marine epoxy locally?

Thanks

Well picked up some LR, sand, and water. I dont think I have enough LR but I will see how it looks. The water is super cloudy right now so as soon as it clears I will post the pics.

I got a test kit you can borrow to check if the cycle is over. Don't waste money on it.

PM what's a good time. I also don't mind more assassins!

finally got something in this tank...its pg 14 already, geesh....

[myjohnson]

+1, post the bad pictures if you have to! You guys made me do it!

I think you should start a new thread for a tank journal.

[Darbex]

Well I wont need to check it for about a month right?

[myjohnson]

Depends, if you got LR from someone's tanks like I told you to today....waiting period is really low.

Could be more than 4 weeks, that's just an estimate. Some times yes some times now.

Golden rule to keep corals is to be wait, wait, and so somemore waning.

MJ rename this thread to something like Salt water start up and I will start a new thread on the journal of the tank.

Hey I told you I wasnt going to start until 2010 that was the promise to the wife, you knew what you were getting yourself into on this thread from the beginning so blah.

Done. PM if you want a different title.

Like the addition?

[Darbex]

Good enough it allows people to get info on a lot of different things I thought about in the startup without having to give the info in my journal. I will start that in a moment.

Question do you have to use RO water for the ATO? Can you not use water that has been run through a carbon filter?
