Well i made my mind up after last meeting(thanks to gmoney) to go ahead and start up the tank. I had intentions of having everything that i would ever need before starting(ato,vortechs,controller,supps and chemicals). Aftering work hours being cut down to bare mininum. I just want something in my empty tank. My goal is to have first fish in on my birthday next month on the 14th. Im now going bare min. and upgrading/expanding as i go.
This is where i am looking for help, i have a idea of how i can cut down cycle time(3-4weeks). My idea is to use someones water change water and live sand/live rock rubble to seed the tank. Im buying salt this week and other small things this week. I know they make rapid cycle start products, but with limited funds im hoping water change water will work. So if anyone is doing a water change in the next few weeks and no one tells me that this wont work. Then i would love to have your old water. Any ideas or help would be great.
