|  adding small amounts of l/r to 210gal
can i add a small amount of uncured live rock to my 210gallon tank, without worry of an ammonia spike?
i've been told, due to the large size of my tank, 20lbs or so at a time, should'nt have any effect on my livestock.
i've also heard KENT MARINES ROCK PREP, is good for scrubbing uncured rock to remove die off. any thoughts?
i was planning on giving thre rock a fresh water dip, for a few hours, before adding to my tank. good idea?
i am sorry if my questions from this and others i've posted, seem redundant, but i'm looking to keep what i've got(livestock) alive, and help it along.thanks |
