Re: New Tank Set Up - Questions

Thanks for having me... I didn't use any bacterial cultures; I'm really trying to keep this as simple as possible. But I also know I rolled the dice in a sense using the rock from the shoreline, even after pressure washing and soaking, but it seems to be ok. I looked over the thread before "the...
