NAH....no need for concern..when it is time your cuc will take care of it....BUT turn the lights down for now....and slowly increase the times during the cycle

yeah thats is what I was doing about, would turn on the actinics when i got home, then about an hour later turned on the day lights, then turned the day lights off at 10 and then the actinics off at 11 the moonlights are on when the other lights are not.

Hey also should I be ghost feeding my tank since there is some live rock in there? I have read a few post that people suggest that if you have live rock that you should feed it also? HMM

You are the most patient person that I know.

Thanks Krista, its hard to do sometimes but you have to let things take their course. I also want this to be right, I have waited a long time and done so much research. that I want it to be the best experience that it can be. I don't want to rush the process and have things fall apart.. =)

Yeah I know that its only going to get uglier, and that it will never be white again, but its ok I know that it will look awesome when i start putting stuff in there which will give it so much color so you wont notice the brown lol ha ha.. When should I start the other Power heads when the tank is fully cycled, you know I do have 2 in there that are not on.. lol
