inuyasha_lover_21

what would that be in Fahrenheit? It would have to be between 75-84 F to test. Might I suggest you get a refractometer they are 100% accurate

serpent

thank's

inuyasha_lover_21

anytime!

serpent

oooya when is it a good time to add liverock the tank is cloudy now how long well it take to clear up

inuyasha_lover_21

Give it about a week to add LR. You have to let the SW age. It should be clear by tomorrow if the filter is on.

serpent

i have a power head 802 with the filter runing now

inuyasha_lover_21

it should be fine in 2 days. Is the LR cured or uncured?

serpent

i have not got liverock yet all i have in ther is crush coral

inuyasha_lover_21

ok. uncured has more life but is going to smell bad when curing

serpent

sound's good thank's for your help chat to you later

inuyasha_lover_21

What kind of filter are you running? I think crushed coral creates more nitrate problems unless you have a high flow rate.

serpent

i have a 802 power head with the filter on it then i have the skimmer and a 70G hagen hang filter will this work

What type of skimmer? usally HOB filters one cut it with a high bioload
