so my tank started doing super bad, ammonia was high, all my snails died, some hermits, my CBS died, fish are doin good, zoos closed up, SPS BLEACHED!.
basically, (this was in a 40 gallon + 20 sump system) it's still up and running, as i have my zoos (some open) and my fish. i'll be setting up a 12 gallon nanocube.
question: once i transfer my LS and LR into the cube, how long do i have to wait before i put in corals? will i have a cycle? (i'll be using new saltwater, not water from tank, as its bad water.)
my tank was mature, one day something happened and it all came falling apart. now i'm downgrading.
another question: how LONG of a cycle will i have? should i rinse the LS with freshwater to start over brand new so my new 12 gal tank doesnt get screwed up like this 40?
