water changes

[rccub23]

anyone getting ready to do a water change. i am setting up a nano tank, and thought i could speed up the cycle by using "used" water so to speak. i have containers. need ten to twenty gallons. thanks.

I will have some by the end of next week. I will be taking water out of my 75g. to put in 150g. I will have plenty for you. Paul

Used water will not effect the cycle time. There is very little bacteria free floating. You are best to use cured live rock.

gonna be a bit before i need the water. just broke the tank. guess better now than later

you broke the tank?

do you mean broke broke the tank?

 

[rccub23]

broke, as in a chunk out of the corner, and a crack that goes from top to bottom. not a good way to start this project. i will have to find another 10 gallon tank and start over.

I have a 10 or 15 gallon you can have for ten dollars if you want.

im not a hundred percent on if it's a ten or fifteen i'll have to measure it again
