Hey guys ,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the board but have been monitoring for awhile. Ive been keeping fish for sometime but by no means an expert. I've had a small reef tank in the past and getting back into it as i have missed it alot. looking forward to learning and picking your brains. my first question.... i am in the first week of recycling my tank do to a 100% loss because 4 day power outage due to flooding. so.. i have cleaned everything properly and brought my salinity up over the past few days. do i have to cycle with a damsel ? my tank was up for 6 months before the crash. if so i was going to cycle with coctail shrimp. second part of my question is when cycling with coctail shrimp how many would i use for my 90 and do i have to spread the cocktail sauce directly on the shrimp or just dump it in the tank? lol... o.k. just some humor to break the ice. but the first part of the question is for real. peace all.
