As for your cycle your tank will still have one even with the real ocean water, however, the real ocean will help to speed up the cycle. I would suggest you cycle with some liverock and a cocktail shrimp. Watch for the ammonia spike, then when ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are at zero add a clean up crew, wait about a week, and add your first fish. The bta and corals all depend on your lighting, but I suggest waiting at least 3 months before adding any corals
yup, its from *****, and by clean up crew, i know thats hermits, and snails, how mucch of them should i put in? do cleaners shrimp count? its a 10g tank. so let me see, set it up w/ lr, wait 4 weeks, or until all bad stuff is 0, then put in cleaners, and wait a weeek before puttin a fish in, then 3 months for coral, and 6 months for anemones, that sound right?
