Hi all,
I've been in the hobby for almost 5 years. I've had a few different tanks but the SR60 will be my biggest tank.
I have a JBJ30 currently running and will transfer all my corals to the SR60
Currently doing the 4 month cycle with no lights.
Nov 25th 2020 I started cycling all the rocks in a tub for about 3 weeks.
Jan 1st - added live sand, the cycled rocks and water - Letting this bad boy continue to cycle with no lights.
Jan 15th - Ammonia and Nitrite is both at 0 and Nitrate is currently sitting at 5 PPM - Added 2 clownfish
Feb 1st - the clowns are doing well - I decided to add a yellow tank, yellow watchman goby and a red fairy wrasse
also added a skimmer
Feb 20th - Doing a 20% water change - thinking about adding a few blue leg hermit crab, a few nassarius snails and a cleaner shrimp. maybe will add them in a few days after the water change.
It has been so hard not to turn on the lights and not adding any corals to the tank but 3 more weeks and I will be able to slowly add some hardy corals to see how it does.
Any suggestions are welcome
