hello all,
this is my first post to this forum so pleae bare with me,\
here goes,
I got a used 55g fish tank from a buddie of mine that he had setup as a saltwater tank. He informed me that he cleaned it properly and it's been siting in my house on a stand for about two weeks. today i went to the store and bought undergravel filters, powerheads, gravel (50 pounds) and a heater. I rinsed the gravel and placed it on top of the undergravel filters. fired up the tank and all i get is foam.
what may be the reasons behind the foam. my buddie is out of town and i don't knowwhat i may or may not have done to cause this from happening.
Oh, i don't have any fish in it as o was plannig on waiting 24-36 hours to stock the tank.
any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
