Hey guys,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help you may bestow upon me. Great forum!
I have- 29g Aquarium, a protein skimmer, and a filter system that sits on top of the aquarium. I ALSO HAVE 2ea T5 blue lights, and 2ea T8 natural lights
So today is day one. MY LFS has the following ready for me to pick up and get started.
2 bags of sand, 25 gal of premixed saltwater, 10# of cured live rock (i am sure it is cured), 3 small saltwater fish (lil ones), 10 hermit crabs, 2 snails, 4 astrea snails, & 1 turbo snail.
My intentions are to get home put rocks where i want them, fill with sand, add water, trun on pump & filter & skimmer, and then an hour or so later add the fish and other crabs etc...
Will i be ok with the cycling procedure? Seems like everything i have read on your forum says absolutly no fish till it cycles.
Any suggestions?
