Hobg05 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Once i have my tank set up with correct Specific gravity do i add LR and then later add LS or all at once or have LS when i fill the tank up? Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 it really doesn't matter what order. supposedly rock first will create pressure points on the glass. sand first and the rock is unstable. i'd be more worried about adding the sand last because you'll cause quite the sand storm if you're not careful. probably easier to first take out a lot of the water add the sand, rock and then add back the water.

Hobg05 Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 thanks for the help. when you say "take out alot of water" would more then half be good after the SG is at the correct level? Link to comment
Darold Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I only needed to take out 1/3rd of my water when adding the LS and LR. My suggestion is to add the sand 1st, but then to press your LR down as far as you can in order to make it as stable as possible. Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I placed my LS first then the next day LR. Link to comment
