That's the worse time. People should go on a mini vacation so that they don't rush into the aquascaping and adding lifestock before it's ready.
Never know how people can stand no doing anything until it's fully cycled!
Merry Christmas!

no kidding eh lol well its easy for me as i already have 4 small tanks running lol but yeah the next step for me is to turn this badboy salty lol i grabbed a bucket and i figured i had enough here to make it but im short because i didnt count my sump in so after i rob all the water i can without disturbing the other tanks im still gonna be short like 30-40gallons so i may just get it to where i can which will probably be around 1.020 and get my rock in there ill be adding some eggcrate first and then some rock nothing scaped just in there in a pile for cycling.after that i will add my sand i dont want sand under my rocks in this tank honestly all of my previous tanks have been like that and it starts to sag and get messy down there after a few years so no sand under my rock in this tank

im also hoping the rock will make up for some water that i cant mix im just not sure how much it will be lol
