I started cycling my tank on Sunday (1/9) and so far it is looking great, Dr. Tims Ammonia and Turbostart are magic.

I had originally planned on adding livestock on 1/23 if all the parameters looked stable.

I completely forgot I have tickets to MACNA in April so I am not sure if I should wait until that event to buy my first livestock - and if I do wait until then how do I keep my tank cycled without livestock? Keep adding Ammonia every few days? Ghost Feed?
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
