Adding IPSF items to tank

[Ippyroy]

I just got my order from ipsf.com. It comes with everything in water. Should I put the bags in the tank and bring up to temp and dump sand, mud, worms, and everything in tank or should I discard some if not most of the water. TIA

If you don't get any answers here, I think you should contact the seller by email.

Good luck.

I dumped it all in. I wanted as much biodiversity as possible.

I did the same thing and I found a couple of other people on here who did the same. I was a great package. I will be ordering a second one for my other tank.

I dumped it all in as well... Mud, liquid bacterial culture etc, That was the whole reason I ordered from them. Wanted it all!

I love my free Torch that I got with it as well. Will be ordering another one for second tank. Great package deal and really nice helpful people.

I got a green toadstool leather free with my order. I need to get another order placed with them.

I always dump it all in. I too want all the included diversity. I have heard of aiptasia in their shipments but I personally have never seen that: so if that possibility concenrs you inspect closely.

+1. I dumped it all in. I transferred the mud to a jar so I wouldn't cloud the whole tank by introducing near the surface and introduced it more directly on the sand

How long do you think I should leave my skimmer turned off? Is a week about right?
