Hey evrybody I just finally set up my 90g with 29g long sump/refuge. I used mostly utahrock that I collected. and utah sand (thanks Mark .P.) I put almost half of my live sand from my 29g. and maybe 10lbs of live rock also. I still need to put the rest of live sand and rock from my 29g, but I need to wait untill the 90s ready, how long should I wait before I can put alll my coral and fish in there? will it still cycle even though I put some live sand and rock in there. It has been 4 days so far and the water is good on all tests. should I be leaving my lights on? thanks Frank I also will be needing some more macro,cheato for my sump, If someone near sandy has some they need to clear out. I will try to post some pics of the new tank when I borrow a camera.    ------------- 90g reef 30g long refugium,2x250 hqi 4x65w pc |

| You will next see the brown diatoms, at that point you can put some cleaner crew in it. You can search here for new tank setup where Mark has a very good write-up. I did not want when I went from my 29 to my 90. I moved everything over 100% in the same day and did not have any issues. Understand that that was just my experience. I also used LBTR and Oolitic sand along with what was in my tank. |

That's the reason to use LR and LS from another healthy tank in starting a new tank. Cycling is almost nil and livestock can go in almost, if not, immediately.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Remember to either move the LR in a bucket submerged from tank to tank or to "shake rattle and roll" the LR to get all the killing air bubbles out of it in the new tank. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
