Brand New 200 gal.

[Prisnic]

Just semi cycled a 200 gal. peninsula. Very exciting. My ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels are looking good after about six weeks. I could not contain myself and have added a green bubble and some nice pink polyps. I would like to start adding some kind of trace elements and BIO boost. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Only suggestion is be patient and your tank will be amazing.....rush any part of it and expect disaster...congrats on the new tank and good luck.

If i understand correctly you are telling me not to add anything to encourage bacteria growth?

i would put in a couple of chromis. give it a test drive. only thing make sure you QT those bad boys for ich. you don't want to get ich in your tank right off the bat.

I cycled the tank with 8 chromis. Shhh! don't tell PETA. Lost six of them throughout the first 4 weeks, two actually made it through and are doing well. Haven't lost any in the last 3 weeks.
Thanks everyone for the input. Shooting from the hip here and all the info helps.
