Just sold my 65 gallon softie tank and all inhabitants. I wanted to down grade to a 35 cube for a clown and bta tank. Im going to house 1 spotcinctus clown and 1 bicinctus clown they are paired and 2 or 3 bta's. I also couldnt sell my lawnmower blenny so he is goung in too. I just put some live rock (from the 65 tank i sold) and new sand in the 35 cube. Very cloudy which i knew would happen. But my first question is will the 35 cube cycle? Or will the live rock be enough to not start a cycle. 25 lbs of rock about and another 3 or so nice heavy chuncks being added soon. My 2nd question is if i want to add say, 2 blue chromis or bagaii cards or any other fish i should probably do that before adding the clowns, right? Its a 20x20x20 deep blue cube and ai prime light. Thanks

You shouldn't get a cycle as long as the rock was kept live. those other fish should be busy fine with what you have.
