cool.....but from the sound of your post i think you have a long way to go even after the sand has settled before your fishes can go in from a cycling point of view?? :thumb:
never thought of that but makes complete sense.. we were going to add their water from their tank now to the tank when we put them in it so its not like "holy **** batman what the **** happened to our home"jcushing said:thats a decent deal for that stuff.... toss some filter media from your old setup into the new filters then when you transfer the fish in, put the old filter you were using in the new tank even if it means you can only run 1 of the new emperor filters. wait 2-4 weeks for the emperor to build up bacteria then add the other one and take out your old one. :thumb:
so why did it cloud up?? ..dont want to get on your case but one day isnt enough.Beals said:oh yes we washed the sand ... lots and lots of times... good thing it was a hot day and the hose was awesome.... but yes sand was very very washed
6 inches of sand? What for?aussieafricans said:when my sand was done there was no clouding whatsoever.it only took a half a day to do a 55 gallon 6 inches up in the tank. i use the loundry sink/basin and it works really well. and i also get a bit physical with the sand also. good luck with the tank :thumb:
