New tank cycle

[tanit]

Hi all

I need some help regard of cycle of new tank.

Currently I just start up tank with SSB and LRs (~ 40 KG for 2.5 feet tank got from reefer here fully cure and few from LFS).

As I want to proper cycle the tank so I put 1 shimp in the tank.

- How long do I need to leave it there?

- Currently my sump have nothing but filter spong. Do I need to put any think else in sump for filtering?

I did not start skimmer yet and some suggest to turn on 2 weeks after cycle.

- When do I need to turn on blue light to glow purple algre? (after cycle or between cycle)

Hope you gay can help for above question.

Hi bro,

- Your shrimp can be left to rot in your tank, this will produce ammonia to kick start the ANN cycle.

- You do not have to add anything beside sponge to trap detritus while your skimmer wil handle the dissolved organics.

- Depending on which school of thoughts, start skimming from the begining or 2 weeks after cycling works equally well. But if have uncured live rocks it is better to skim from the start.

- You don't have to on the lights for ANN to work. As for the coralines, don't think it will start growing in a tank that have yet completed cycling. They will grow best in a stable environment that have completed cycling thus if I were you - I will on the lights after the cycle.

By the way,

Hope you gay can help for above question.

I remember when I was younger we used to say we are "Happy and Gay", now who dares says that if they are straight???!!! No discrimination here , just that the meaning of the word 'Gay' have changed within this generation.

When you were young, you were happy and gay.... hmmm , that's explain things

Anyway, sometimes people pee into the tank to kick start the cycle, which I think is faster than throwing the prawn.
