Haha. Well dirty water just to grab something for initial start since I can haul, and most people just toss the water I figure its a good way to get a free fill on the tank. Also it can add things to help kick start the cycle.

I can do that. Here are some pics of the 3g when it was up. And then followed with my 46g when it was up.

3g at different stages of its 6 months life














Unfortunately, I did not upload many photo's of the 46 from the phone to photobucket. I will have to do that later to show some more pics but here it is after the setup.



The 3g took some damage in the move. A small crack in the corner. So I might be changing that to a 5g for my kids room and the 46g is in the living room waiting to be setup and cycling again.

Ok, Maybe I am just being stupid but. I can not seem to get the random question on the registration for that site correct. Anyone know what they are looking for as the answer for the question? HAHA, Let me know in PM if you can get passed it. Since I have tried pretty much any correct answer lol

Welcome!

There are two semi-local saltwater only LFS near you:

The Reef Shoppe in Lloydminster, AB
Bayside Corals in Saskatoon, SK

If you put live rock in your tank you won't need to use dirty water. Nitrifying bacteria cling to surfaces for the most part. Only a small amount will be in the water column. Live rock will cycle the tank all on its own accord without the need to add fish, fish food, or used water.

Btw, you should have an email from SaskReef regarding your signing in issues.
