Hi everyone,
I will be starting a new 220G mixed reef tank soon. While it's cycling do I need lighting?, skimmer? or a sump.? I was planing just to aquascape it, fill it with water, add a heater, salt, sand, seed it with some bacteria and sand from my running system. I am installing a mp60, and a mp40 to move water around till it finishes cycling. Then let it cycle till its done. I then plan on piping it up to the existing 80 gallon Sump and refugium I already running on the 75 gallon mixed reef in the basement, and then transfer everything from the old tank to the 220.
Thanks in advance to all those who respond.
