DBURR,
Below is something I read under the topic of "When to upgrade lights" that you wrote and my question is very "newbie". How do you know when your tank is CYCLED?
I am relativly new at this but I have had a 40 reef since april of last year. To date I have 35 lbs of very LR and crushed coral (unfortunatly, I now wish I had gone with LS, and will when I transfer this system to a 55). I have 2 condy anenomes, 2 flower anenomes, a coral banded, an urchin, 2 percs,a large brittle star, and a lawnmower blenny.
Back to the point, I don't know what "cycled" means. I am hoping you could help me out with a little education or refer me to a place where I can find that info.
Thank you

Royce one question,
you have live rock in your 45 gal?
I precycled 200lbs of southdown in a can for 2 weeks before it went in the tank. I added the sand and exsisting lr together. My tank cycled in 6 days!!! Yours may do the same if my assumption is correct
