I'm new to saltwater tanks, I've only done freshwater tanks in the past and have been successful so I have some knowledge, this is obviously a big jump for me. so I started small with a 24 gallon. I've got 24lbs of live rock in the tank with 20lbs of live coral/sand mix and on day 5 of the cycle process using the shrimp method. Several hitchhikers that came along and are still thriving, some good some bad. I'm open to all suggestions as I set this tank up and fully prepare it to hopefully be great.
