Hi everyone. My name is Adam. I recently decided to start a saltwater aquarium after having my freshwater for 2 years. (55 gal with a fat happy oscar and some african chiclids)
I went to a pet store in the city and got some good information from the fish expert there. I got my old 10 gal tank, hooked up the penguin 50 power filter to it and mixed in my salt solution. I measured to the salinity and cycled just the water for about 30 hours.
the next day I double checked the salinity, it was good so i poured a sack or argonite into my tank. After the dust settled I turned on my flourescent and sat back.
It's been 6 days and i see absolutely no activity and i'm not sure if I should. I have a heater goin and the tank is at a steady 76 degrees. The filter is still cycling.
Please help me with my next move. This weekend (today being tuesday) I am probably getting a big lump of live rock and a damsel or two. Is this a good move?
(p.s) thanks for your help! :-)
