i think not only does waiting increase your tanks survival rate, but its kinda the reason i switched from fresh to salty. ive had fresh water my whole life,from newborn till im now 24, multiple tanks of every species imaginable, all the way up to bass and blue gills. and they all followed the same trend, pour in water wait a week or 2 and then dump your fish in. after a couple months its boring because you havent been involved in it, all your live stock is in, and nothing else to do. in salty taking it slow helps it stablize, and gives you something to look forward too, for a long time. ive had my tank a year and i still got a ways to go, im finally just getting everything sorted out. | |
