castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003	do you have to have the sponge filter right away or could you add it in say a week or two (after they spawn)? just wondering

castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003	just a normal sponge filter with the sponge being the media so.... ive seeded a small filter before using another tank, only takes a week im having my mom order it because i have no credit card and thats what sites always want so i emailed her the link and she'll do it tomorrow probably and i put specifically in the email to get priority shipping(2-4 days)

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	well, get on it ASAP, but it should be ok. What type are you getting? is there a way to seed the media while the thing is on order?

castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003	yes there are none available locally and i have to order one in so it would be at least a week probably til it gets here then i would want to seed it in an established tank to get the good bacteria would that be too long if they spawned in the next couple days? thanks

Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	Don't put it in straught away in a breeding tank, it will blow the bubblenest away! get a sponge filter and some sort of flow restricting valve so you can set low for a few days, and gradually increase. Why do you ask? are you having trouble finding one? For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
