After months of obsessing about it, I’ve finally setup my tank! It’s crazy how expensive this stuff gets, considering this is considered “budget” with almost 1K invested. But will be well worth it.
i have a LFS that has really taken me under their wing, I went today and he gave me 10G of water from one of his tanks, along with live rock for a great price to get started. Should be enough to cycle.
I have 2 powerheads
Seachem Tidal 75 HOB filter
Eheim Jager 150W heater
I used Caribsea arag Alive and have a question about that, it says “contains bio-magnifier clarifier” but I didn’t see any packet? Really hoping I don’t have 2 packets buried in my sand somewhere. Is it mixed into the sand now or possible they didn’t come with it? My tank is still very cloudy about 5 hours after setup. I have the filter that came with the Tidal and extra filter floss in it.
I’m also wondering if it’s normal to have a bunch of bubbles around the tank at water level? Pic of what it looks like now. Don’t mind the mess, long day today lol.
