3 week old tank update

tellycoleman · 09-05-2007, 10:44 PM

ok the diatoms are gone.
hair algae is gone (because of a good scrub brush)
phosphate is still 0
ammonia is gone
nitrite is almost gone
so now i added new rock today (grand total of 100lbs figi) and i am wondering if i have to go threw another cycle?
it came today and the combination of scrubbing my 3 week rock yesturday and scrubbing my new rock today have left my hands tattered.

ok pics
i dont think im going to aquascape for anither 2 or 3 weeks. i might want to shake off my rocks again .

good deal,
you may see a little longer cycle now thatyou add more Rock, but since you are not done the 1st one , should not be too much different then what you are seeng now

while your tank is waiting, you might want to think about making a lift system for the LR , try and keep it off the bottom if you can

well my tank will not be a bare bottom. i will have sand.
Why does the rock not need to touch the bottom?
