I assume you have tank salt and access to RO water?

 

[FAHADREEF]

yes i ve already ser up the salt and water a week ago and already its on the cycle but i am about to add a huge amount of fish and i totally regret ordering cz i thought they would arrive in 2 months but it was actually 2 weeks

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Are you new at this hobby?

 

[FAHADREEF]

no but thats the first time iam setting a pond

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

I’m confused. You are adding saltwater fish to a pond?

 

[FAHADREEF]

and i did the salt and water mix fine and added rocks and seachem bacteria 80ml daily for a week and already added a damsel to help cycle but the tangs and batfish and eels and banded sharks are about to arrive in a week maybe 9days

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

I honestly can’t tell if you are joking or not. I will let others chime in.

So you are cycling a saltwater pond and you don't think it will be done cycling by next week which is when the fish arrive? Where are you in the cycle? Have you tested? Please provide your readings (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates).

 

[Tamberav]

What brand of bacteria did you add?

 

[FAHADREEF]

yes

but honestly dont know the reading my memory but i tested a couple days after 3 days of setting it up my anomia was high a little but then when i was dosing 80ml of seachem bacteria daily for the next days it was gone

seachem bacteria

 

[TheDragonsReef]

How many gallons is the pond? It is full with water yet or do you need more?

 

[blaxsun]

Provided you have the saltwater, you should be able to insta-cycle the tank with something like Bio-Spira. I have no idea how large your tank is, so you'd probably need a lot. It would probably help to post some images or at least dimensions (size) of the tank.

 

[Tamberav]

seachem bacteria

How many gallons? Fritz 900 is the fastest stuff and you can buy it to treat up to 3200 gallons

TurboStart 900

i dont actully have bio spira in my area and would take like 2-3 weeks fot it to deliver and my pond is around 360 gallons maybe 400

Is this pond outside ? Will it be getting rained on ?
