coralife Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 please give me some advice whether is good to use foam type rock background. Will the colour fade after long use in marine tank? I am recently upgrading from 2 feet tank to 3 feet. should I move all the filter material to the new tank or use the new one. I would like to cycle my tank fast.

SRC Member Dazza Posted September 14, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2003 hihi coralife I would suggest that u take some of your "old sand" to kick start yr new tank. Much faster than starting from ground zero. Also think not to use those form background lah .. not so natural looking than liverocks Quote Main Tank : 48 inch by 36 inch by 28 inch (2 sides starphire glass)Sump Tank :Return Pump :Chiller : Starmax Compressor 1 HP Drop coilChiller Return Pump Protein Skimmer :Wave Maker :Fluidised Reactor : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBlue Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I saw in Hawa** MA**** that they use silicone gel to glue that sand onto the glass as background and side, after dripping kalwasser for a while....the pinkish algae starts to grow along the wall.....nice foam rocksculpts does not last......

coralife Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks Dazza & DeepBlue for your help. I have asked Hawa** MA**** about the background. They say that the sand is spray into the glass tank during the assemble of the tank. My friend is previously in this business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
