So i am plumbing my new sump in the basement. I have a 180 display with a 55 gallon sump currently..
i have a 150 set up ready to be plumbed in as a sump but was wondering on everyones thoughts on how i should add sand and rock to the system.. should i get everything plumbed and running and then start to add the sand and live rock?
My system has been up and running for 2 yrs now and is fully stocked! I dont want to kill anything...
And...
i jumped the gun and added some sand to the fuge and was just gonna get the whole sump up and running before i plumbed it into the display.. but the more i got to thinking about that.. what will this do as far as a cycle? and will i need to worry about mixing the two systems if i keep the sump running seperatly for a couple weeks and do let it cycle?
any thoughts would be great!!
thanks in advance
