Can somebody save me?
I recently purchased a 30 gal. tank and went through the process of setting it up. I was 1 day into starting a fishless cycle and made a big bloop. I had not added my decorations to my tank because I was waiting to make a trip to the Decorative rock shop to add a little different atmosphere to my tank. I realize that I got a little ahead of myself by putting the water in without placing my rocks in first but I thought it would be okay. I thought I had thoroughly cleaned my rocks but when I went to place my rocks in the water, dirt and silt started coming from crevices of the rock slightly making the water cloudy. My question is do I have to start over? Is there any way out of this except to drain and start over? Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Charlie
