Well only halfway across. I have recently relocated from austin to san diego, and had a my local lfs hold my livestock and rock for me. Three months later (first attempt at caulking and plumbing a system)I have my new 60 cube up and running and ready to fill (I think)
I have just finished a cycle with a 12lb rock and around 3 inches of live sand and nitramax bacteria. My guy back in austin is going to ship everything overnight fed ex. My question is how dangerous is it to add everything all at once in such a young tank?
I will be adding around 60 lbs of my mature live rock from my last settup as well as a fairly large sun coral (around 75 polyps!) a large torch coral, colt coral, brain, numerous rics and other mushrooms, green star polyps, two clowns, a coral beauty angel,yellow watchman, mandarine goby cleaner shrimp, pistol shrimp, and a cleaning crew.
I plan on doing a large water change the night before they arrive but am worried what might happen when adding such a large load on such a young tank.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
