Please tell us how you know this? Did you drain the tank, and got rid of everything in it including your substrate?

 

[Zuska]

yes drained everything got the sand out and the tank is all clean and is getting washed!!!

Everyone with an empty tank and no livestock is Ich-free. The problem is staying that way through use of QTs.

Be sure to let the tank totally AIR dry..seams and all before reusing it!

 

[Zuska]

ok what else?

 

[KathyC]

ok what else?

Ummm, tough question to answer, what are your plans for the tank at this point?

It might be a good idea to keep all of your posts & questions on one thread instead of starting a different one for each topic/component...just a thought...

ok thanks and im starting a 55 for now to clean the 65 you know.oh and im just ganna keep my inverts in tere and ganna get more inverts in there

how long those it have to cycle with 3 month cycled rocks and sand and im going to have inverts only in there? and mayb a yellow tang.

Since you will be starting off with fresh water i would wait 3 months to fully cyle out the tank. But get another advice. Be patient this time dont jump into hot water like you did in the pass.

I just noticed that the month hasn't finished and you are almost at 200 post if you keep it up you might beat jhale soon :lol2:



Just keep on typing:type:

 

[home wrecker]

when u start back u should just have live rock in there .....NO yellow tang ....NO inverts ......isn't it a fresh start an u wanna do things right ......so let the tank run with the live rock for the month or two an let it cycle properly before u add anything .......if u start adding liverstock right away ....u gonna end up right where u was before ..

 

[Zuska]

im not adding nothing to it lol just live sand and live rock thats all.while its going to be cycleing I wanna research soem lights im really into getting really nice good lights. I want to keep sps and clams alot or polys and zoas thats all I want in there. And MARK you said start with fresh water what you mean? Im starting reef. Thats salt water member?

[Zuska]

Can rock and sand have the ick cought in it???

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Good luck with your tank.

 

[Zuska]

wait im going to wait? dont i have to put in sand and rocks and let it cycle for 2-3 months?

 

[Harif87]

Your going to put sand and rocks in initially, then wait a while. Your cycling process is complete only after you have readings of 0 for ammonia and nitrite, and your getting nitrate readings. Then youll need to lower your nitrates and add some inverts... then after some time you can add fish (slowly!).

uhuh i see
