So yesterday I got the tank filled and everything running. Added my salt and now I am just waiting for it all to dissolve and for the cloudiness to go away.
In my excitement of setting everything up I may have forgot to rinse the live rock... oops! So a bit cloudier than it needed to be.
Everything seems to be running fine, no leaks and it's pretty quiet. I have been having trouble with one of my power heads running loud. I took it apart and cleaned it and it was good for a few hours, but slowly has been getting louder.
When I get home from work I will see if the tank has got up to temperature and then make sure the salinity is correct. Then I can start cycling!
Usually for cycling the tank I use fish food, but since I'm out of fish food I was thinking of trying the pure ammonia method.
Anyone tried that does it work better, worse, the same?
