Just a small jump in on this thread. But is it ok to not get a cycle??
I started a 150g on 7-19 using some sand from existing 37 and just about 20g of water from other tanks.
Last week I added two small fish I caught at the beach ( I think they are French grunts I had one for years that lived through every thing ) and a few rocks from the beach hoping for some cycle. As of yet no cycle. :notsure:
So all may be good?
I plan on adding a SFE, panter grouper, fuzzy dwarf lion from other tanks.
Sorry for jumping in here.

thanks 883... I am not planning on adding a whole lot more rock. One of the reasons I went with the 180 instead of the 150 was so I could have a larger sandbed. And also, I want to put a few tangs in it so I want alot of swimming room for them. I probably wont add any fish for a couple of weeks. Although I did ad a couple of corals today
