samuel90 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 You shouldn't have to soak the rock in acid. Just boil it, rinse all the crap out of it and dry it out before you begin your cycle in salt water. A lot of organic material will still fall off it so it would be good to have a bare bottom tank to siphon it out at water changes. Add your sand when your tank has cycled. Will totally just do that- save having to buy more rock! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 They arent regular ocellaris though, so picassos should be the same price as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would like to know where you think you can find true percs for $50 or less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel90 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ok so as far as rock + sand go- I need to bleach my caribseas rock and let it dry for a couple of days before I can put it into the aqua nano? Can I put my aragonite straight from my freshwater into this tank? As it is, it just has plain tap water in there. yet to add salt/substrate/rock/water conditioner. Do i even need my Seachem Prime?

marinefish4life Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wonderworld usually has a-grade clowns like the babys we're growing are $140.

Hey Sam do you understand the process that the tank will go through as it cycles? The rock and aragonite will need to be clean when you put it into your tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rock and aragonite will need to be clean when you put it into your tank Like the nitrogen cycle? Yeah I know about that, and I thought that instead of adding a prawn, the bacteria in the sand/rock could just die to cause the ammonia spike and the cycle?

Godly3vil Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 They're just as good as the ones available on trademe, they're not exactly top quality but as long as you get some calibration solution you shouldn't have any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
