The new tank!

[scottbert]

Well. Here it is. Just waiting for the cycle to start now. Waiting is the hardest part!

Nice tank how many gallons

 

[scottbert]

It's a 90g.

 

[zoidberg01]

Nice what fish are you planning to put in

 

[scottbert]

Well, I'm hoping for a yellow tang, a clown or 2 (introduced at the same time), I'm not sure if it's big enough for a blue hippo or not, but any suggestions for fish?

 

[zoidberg01]

I would suggest a flame fin tang, powder brown and its OK for a medium blue tang the only thing that I reccomend is that the yellow tang be the smallest tang to reduce aggression

 

[scottbert]

Ok thanks! Can they be added at any time or do I have to wait for the tank to be established? Also, how long should I expect the cycle to start and take? Is it recommended to add a raw shrimp?

Make some ghost feedings and if you are going to add a fish only add one to see how it goes like a chromis

Ghost feed as in throw some flake food/frozen blood worms in from my freshwater tank?

Use raw shrimp in a woman's nylon stocking and measure ammonium until it rises to about 1, then monitor nitrates and ammonium. When ammonium falls to zero do a 10 % water change and add one fish.

Do I take the shrimp out once ammonium hits 1? What one fish do you recommend??
