GBOY & NUNU 66g RedSea MAX sw build!!

Yeah, temp will be good..

Ive heard not to have less than 5, or more than 2" in a sandbed. Somthing like gasses building up.

I dont know if i trust that stuff man

 

ive heard some great things about dr. tims. if you need stuff in there fast and safely, i would use that instead of nothing. thats true about sandbeds. i think its ammonium sulfide that builds up. it smells like rotten eggs if you stir it up.

 

Ok, so maye well use it. Just add a whole bottle? How deep of a sandbed should we make? Im not sure about a jawfish, but i would maybe swap out the midas for one.

Also, we are going to swap out the tomini tang for a schooling bannerfish. A better choice for our tank IMO, and it would look really great

 

I would do a dsb. It's not worth the risk IMO. I'd do a 3" sand bed. That's enough for most jaw fish.

Dr Tim's rocks! I used a similar product to cycle my tank. You add a whole bottle. It's impossible to overdose. Defiantly do it b

 

K ill do a 3". Are you sure about the tims stuff?! I dunno. When do i add? When i have my fish and coral in the tank and everything??

 

it cant hurt anything. i would add it before the fish and put the fish in once its dissipated.

 

So what is it exactly? Did you guys use it to cycle?

 

It's different bacteria strains in a bottle. It will instantly colonize your rocks, preventing a mini cycle. I used a similar product called microbacter7, it's similar but isn't instant like dr Tim's. Dr tims is highly recommended.

 

And u used it?

 

Basically, youll have some die off and you'll lose bacteria when you transfer everything over, this stuff will prevent a mini cycle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPxExG-FbvI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
