That is going to be tough in the middle of a snow storm. Do you have any extra water you can mix? If you can run to the supermarket and buy some distilled you can mix that into some salt real quick. We crashed our tanks in the middle of a snow storm due to a power outage so I feel your pain.

I'm good rite now the thing is my quarantine tank I don't want it to cycle so I can keep the remains of my tank

I wouldn't suggest going out in this weather (even the pike is iced over right now) but if after the storm is over you still need it I can do an early WC of about 5 gal and give it to you. Let me know.


I'm in Williamstown about 1/2 mile off crosskeys.

I got your message and will give you a call when I get off work. I can help you with water, sand and some rock. However I will say that water has next to no good bacteria in it.

I have some sand, chaeto and rock that you can have. I'm in Blackwood.

why do you want sand for your QT tank? rock and water is more than enough.

I agree and bare bottom allowes you to maintain the water quality better as you can just syphon the bare bottom much easier for more frequent water changes.

Any updates? How is the skimmer working for you? It was new, and may have needed a little break in for it to get up to speed.
