I have ordered 17 lbs of premium decorative rock from gulfliverock.com
My state lands in the 2-3 day shipping range. I know there will be die-off. I am accepting this as fact instead of paying for higher shipping.
I haven't heard back from them yet, but I'm thinking I could start making RO/DI water now so I can do as many water changes as possible to save as much surviving life as possible. I might need more buckets.
Upon arrival, I'm going to put the rock in the 10 gallon new aquarium that will have nothing but saltwater in it unless you all think a tote would be better?
Is it possible to change the water to often during the cycle? Let's say I did a 100% water change daily? Will that slow the cycle if I'm not leaving enough bad stuff in the water? Would 2 100% water changes daily be to much? Could I get away with 1 50% water change daily?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
