How much of a cycle?

You'll probably have no choice but to put the fishy back in the tank after you're done Seano. No sweat dood. It should all be ok. I don't think your sand is bad right?
When are ya drilling?

 

Right now I have the no-good, nitrate-collector of a sand-bed we call crushed coral. It is about 2-3" deep & I will be replacing it with 30 lb of dry argonite. That will be about 1.5" deep.

The OF kit won't ship out until the 9th(I think), as the guy is not in town. So it should be here by...the 16, at the latest. I'll do a pactice drilling throught a scrap peice of glass from the hardware store, then it's time fro the real thing.

On a side note...my FS Aquatics order, shipped out yesterday.

 

Oh yeah, I meant to ask..what kind of container should I use to temporarily hold the fishy?

Where would I get it?

 

5 gallon bucket will work, I would add a airstone.

 

Sounds good. Thanks.
