It's been a month or two refurbishing the tank and the stand and we're finally at a place where we're finally getting started...what, in your opinions, are the best way to get the tank up and cycled? The water in there is RODI with the correct amount of salt and it's still settling, but we're thinking about where to go next as far as if we find a good Live rock shard to get it cycling or if we do the amonia drops/fish food and dead shrimp (or whatever) rotting/decay method? Just trying to get this up and running so we can get our CuC moved in and get the fun happening! Thank you in advance for your suggestions :D

Powerheads should be pointed slightly upward to create surface agitation. You don't want them blowing toward the sand.

Thank you for the suggestion! They were just slapped in there so far, they still need to be direction-ized and the heaters installed and whatnot
