Sorry for yet another cycling thread, but here it is...
I see in many of the threads and posts throughout the Forum varying information on cycling. I consider my myself to be pretty adept at processing information, but I have to be honest, this cycling business has always had me scratching my head about some things. My question centers around starting a new tank with Live Sand and Live Rock. If I am reading some posts correctly, there are many people who feel that if you start a new tank with live sand and live rock, then you are essentially cycled from day 1? I ask, because I just started an IM Nuvo 40 gallon tank...I used 25 pounds of CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Sand and 35 ponds of Real Reef Rock I bought (wet) from my local fish store. I added a bottle of Dr Tim's One and Only also. Tank has been running for 6 days...Am I good to go to add a coral or 2 and some form of clean up crew? Add fish? No to all?
Fire away!!
Thanks in advance for your time!
