Hey how are you guys, ive been reading this message board for a while now, i just registered. i have a question it sounds kinda silly but, here it goes, i have a 220 gallon tank thats been cycling for a rough month now, i have a marble cat shark i really want to put in it, how long should i wait? its got about 50 pounds of live sand and roughly 15 pounds of live rock, dont want alot of rock because i want to be able to see the shark. i have a couple of damsels in there now. i have 3 other tanks but i really want to get the shark in the big one soon, but i dont wanna kill her. thanx for the help.

Reguardless of the size of your tank, you should get a GOOD test kit. Measure amonia, nitrites and SG. That's the best way to tell if you're really done cycling or not. A good therometer for $4 is a great investment too.

dont be scared... after you test your water and are sure it has cycled add the shark and wait to add any more fish for a few weeks to let the bio load catch up....
