Got my LR yesterday, only 30kg another 20kg to come soon.
I don't think I am going to test the water until I know when the other LR is coming and its in there. TBH its unlikely I have a cycle as he transported it in water (I didn't use it in my tank tho) So I could add some CUC in a week but think I will wait to have all the LR.
Although if I took some water to the lfs at the weekend and all was good, do you think it would be worthwhile getting a couple hermits to start with until the rest of the LR?
Couple other Q's, should I add my sand now or wait until I have all the LR for my (hopefully) final scape? Just I see people saying add rock first so no sand is under it but then people rescape a lot so they must disturb the sand and have some under the rock? I have put 3kg in from a bag that came with the LR just to get a little life into it.
I think I have asterina stars, and quite a few of them, couple are going up my glass some still on the rock, are these ok to have so many and there are tons of brittle stars in there, all smaller ones, is it bad to have too many?
Also I want corals in there in the future but what is the recommended time to wait before adding any corals? I want to try something different with this tank and will buy mainly frags, I really like the idea of seeing it all evolve into something spectacular rather than buying lovely full corals and there being hardly any room for development. The only thing I will buy is a nem somewhere down the line! What do I need to wait for before thinking of adding any frags?
P.S if anyone has some frags they would like to sell me to start me off Or maybe someone could start a little frag going now for when I am ready I would very much appreciate it
