proud reefer!
so, we ordered live sand...should be in a few days. we ordered several kinds wanting to layer the sand so the pink is on top.
currently we have freshwater running through our new 90 with sump and everything working.
1. do we make saltwater in the tank and then add the sand...or add the sand and then make 5 gallons of sw at a time and transfer them?
I've been reading the articles but I'm unsure about the order..one book says water then sand, but has a side note about about live sand.
when putting the pump and sump together. joe used dawn as a lubricate for the tubing. the sump is full of bubbles and it's been running for 5 days.
2. are the bubbles soap or just bubbles the sump makes? (they totally look like soap bubbles to me, but joe says the soap is gone.) but we haven't changed the water and things don't just disappear. if they are soap bubbles, how do we get it out?
ya'll are great!:bowdown:
