Filling tank for first time

[gridley]

Thanks for the help - I will proceed with the tap water just in case I have leaks - I'm not completely confident of my plumbing skills - I installed a new bathtub in the ensuite four years ago and flooded the family room .
Deborah and I also want to take our time with the aquascaping and intall a solid foundation of dry rock. Hence a second reason to go with the first fill of tap water.

Thanks for the help.

How much LR are you going to use ???

I made a big mistake with my system and now am regretting it
I started off with the only LR I could find that I liked ...
I put 14# of rock into a rubbermaid and cured it for 3 months. Once I started curing it, I didn't look for any more as I didn't want to mix different rock.
I then ended up with less than .2lbs/g, and that's nowhere near enough

Just sayin' that you'll need lots of LR if you want to put any decent amount of life in your system any time soon

It was brought up when you started your build

Hope you got my PM back to you before you went to the plumbing store
