Add as much as you can now...I waited out the first cycle then added about 65# and it started my cycle all over again...good luck Jake

Have you tried you LFS...I would ask them how they recieve the tanks and who they use..My always has tanks coming in and out...HTH Jake

I agree with Karvis, cycling with the LR is much easier...I have done it both ways..LR is definitly easier...In my case I started with 2 damsels and after 2wks my ammonia was still barely detectable...Then I put 75lbs of LR and my ammonia shot up within 4 or 5 days...It was a very quick...

Me and my roommate went to our LFS to look at some FW setups...I had no idea that you could have a saltwater tank..I had always had FW when I was younger...So I decided that I would give saltwater a try and I have been hooked ever since!! BTW my roommate sold his share of the tank...He said it...

Hey Sandy, I have a Skilter 400 and the only problem I have had from the bubbles is a little salt creep on my light....I just scrape it off every once in a while and have had no problems...Tank has been up since June of last year...HTH :) Jake

I was under the impression that the red coraline algae was good to have...I have it along the back and some on the sandbed of my 55gal....I have read that it is the sign of a healthy system...Am I mistaken?? I kinda like the way it looks to :)
