a) i have had a 10 gallon freswater tank for 6 months. yes, it is cycled. but i wanna move on to saltwater. if i put the saltwater in, will it still be cycled? i mena, is the tank cycled if i put saltwater in, or do i have to recycle it?
b) if i put a new filter in the tank, did that uncycle the tank? and also, if i take out my rock gravel, will that uncycle the tank?
c) can i fit a ocellaris clownfish (just one) and a small chocolate chip starfish in the 10 gallon? or can i just do one or the other. ??
d) if in c, i can, please give me info on the choc. chip starfish ????
(A) AS LONG AS YOU GOT
(B) YES IT WILL AFFECT IT BUT IT WON’T QUITE UN-CYCLE IT. AND IF YOU’RE GOING TO REMOVE THE GRAVEL YOU SHOULD AT LEAST LEAVE SOME IN AND TRY REMOVING IT AT A LATER TIME. IT WILL ALSO HELP THE CYCLE PROCEDURE.
(C) DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU CAN LOOK IT UP BUT AT THIS SITE THEY SELLS THEM AND THEY GIVE A BRIEF SUMMARY ON IN MAYBE YOU CAN READ IT AND GET AN IDEA OF WHAT’S WHAT.
AS THE RULE APPLY, YOU’RE ONLY ALLOWED AN INCH OF FISH PER GALLON
