    the best way to cycle a tank?

    Get some live rock and a piece of uncooked shrimp; you will see brown algae, growing. Test you parameters it will usually take 6 weeks to fully cycle and have all the bad stuff gone.

    Which Bulbs on a 2X96 for a 45 gallon?

    i would do the 1 10k and 1 1xBlue Actinic, then have the bule come on first like and hour then have the 10k come on, then at night the same thing, white 10k off first the the blue off and hour later.. plus this gives a good ballance of color and light.
