quick question

[digitalbk1]

Next Friday I will be moving into my stuff into my new apartment. I want to setup my brand new system that day too. The catch is, I won't actually be up there until 3 weeks from that day I wish to setup. I was wondering if it was a good idea to set it up, and let it cycle without me there? I am able to go up once a week and check over things, perhaps add my live rock one week after, and add a couple of damsels the next week, and the week after that I'll be there, so not much of a big deal after that, I can test it, and check on things all the time after that. Let me know what you all think...
PS after cycle, how long should I wait to add my cleaners?

IMO it probably wouldn't be a good idea to set it up without being there, unless you have someone to top off for evaporation. Plus, if the live rock needs to be cured, the damsels shouldn't be added.

I agree you will need to have a way to top off the water that evaporates. My 90g evaps about half a gallon a day so you will have to add water every day. Especially when running the AC. If you go with uncured LR you won't need the dasmals.

There actually will be someone there to top off the evaporation... And as for the live rock, it isn't that I need it cured, it is that my filter is an ecosystem, and with the ecosystem you aren't supposed to add live rock for what I believe is 3 days... I don't have the instructions with me, but that is what I think it is 3 days to a week.
