wuzzo Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Ok so I have a question. 2 weeks ago I set up a 10g tank. In my Fluval Evo 13.5 I have 2 beautiful RFAs and will be getting 2-3 more tommorow for it. The 10g is going to be for them. Do I really need to wait 6 months for the tank to stabilize? It seems like a myth, do I really need to? Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 it depends on how you set up your 10g and whether you seeded it with enough biological stuff. If it's full of live rocks and sand, it should be ready for RFAs as early as one month. Quote Link to comment
