help needed on new setup

[asg]

dont need scrape all the rocks at one go. just scrape one or two at a time.

if you do not have any LS, you can keep the lighting to min hours. when i cycling my tank that time, i do the same. slowly increase the lighting hours.

how i miss the joy of adding my first fish into the tank and watch it eat...

your turn will come soon

hi! it is good that yur water has cleared up. remember to use PO4 carbon as well, like rowophas, etc in addition to your activated carbon.

me knows nothing about PO4 carbon when i started my tank and have a hard time figuring why so many algal....

[chrislzh]

hi bro, whats PO4.. is it a white small small balls... in a bag..?

[asg]

PO4 = phosphate, one main source of food for algal.

start using those carbon cater for PO4 once you have LS
