Tank cycling

[smallreef]

Yes...but if you are introducing anything that hasn't cycled with your previous tank you may still have a mini cycle...

Like I will...I'm adding 80lbs of new sand, 40lbs of current tank sand and possibly 1 bag of live Fiji pink...

Also, 100lbs of current live rock and about 45lbs of dry rock and 3 cerameco creations...

So while there will be a ton of colonizing bacteria and all it should cycle quickly and not take the 30-90 days Tony talks about in his book, but the 90 days he talks about isn't all cycling...alot of it is observation time at the end...
