my tank has been running for a week all tests came out good i have 30
pounds of live rock fluval filter maxi jet power head home depot sand.my water is crystl clear any ideas on what to do next would be great my lfs say wait anther week till i add any fish .my tank is 36 gallon bow tank any help would be great .thanks also was wondering can put live rock into canister filter:-/

 

wait another 3 to 4 weeks... cycle isn't complete

 

this could be a problem.

 

How is this a problem? Using play sand is perfectly fine.

 

what is the problem with the sand ive read that many many us it i live in maine live sand prices real high

 

thanks for ur help

 

Okay, Pics WOULD BE AMAZING!!!! lol... K+ because your starting a tank. But just to really get you good and started.... Please Please listen to everyone on here lol... i kinda rushed things and wished I didnt. Playsand has worked well for many people. Most people's problems with theres is they dont like how it looks but i think its fine. Some people has said this is easier for eels and some blennies like doing that. Pics would be amazing. first off, you really need to get a test kit at least for nitrates nitrites and ph. This will let you know when your cycle has peaked and fell to its little comfortable ecosystem... Would definatley advise maybe 2 or 3 blue green chromis in about a week. then a 10 to 14 days later add another fish or 2 and do not multi buy. Take your time and do it right. Good luck bro and im here if you need anything and so is hundreds more

 

thanks for ur advise pics soon

This guy did it and many more. Its a great way to save money you just need to cut the impeller a lil bit to slow flow or put it on a dial like for lights like a dimmer
