The SW forum guys seem to be on top of answer any questions that people ask, so heres a few more:
My setup is a 75gal w/ 20gal sump & UV steralizer. I want to do live rock, live sand and fish:
1. Can I use tap water to fill it up? Buying distilled would be expensive and require quite a bit of water, and a RO system seems like a pain and expensive.
2. I got 50lbs of rock, it was alive a few weeks ago when the tank was taken down. I understand that its going to be dead now but I want to throw half of this old rock and half new live rock in there to cycle. Will this work?
Also if you have any online sources for live sand/rock post up a link.
Thanks,
Brandon
