Fixing this 180 gallon mess

[Dcprice31]

Hey yall. Just got my hands on my bosses 180 gallon tank in his custom car stereo showroom. Looks like it hasn't been touched in about a year. Just finished getting it stripped and created a new aquascape and currently adding water. I'll keep posting progress as I go.

Any suggestions on how I should start the cycle process on this bad boy. And live stock suggestions????

You have a lot of options for a "fishless" starter cycle. Over the years I have used them all, most of them work, I would go with Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter Dry Rock Bacteria Starter Kit. They have better (clear) instructions.
