I’m in the process of cycling a 90 gallon aquarium with a 25 gallon sump, it’s week 3 of cycling
I began the cycle with 50+ pounds of caribe sea Arag alive reef sand 40 pounds of special grade and the rest Fiji pink
Lots of dry rock( I didn’t weigh and can’t begin to guess the amount I used)
I have a gen 2 and gen 3 eco tech radion XR30, a hygger DC pump, red octopus 110 int protein skimmer, and a do aqua auto top off.
I’ll be upgrading from a 28 gallon cube, I’ve never had a tank larger than a 30 gallon or with a sump so I’m excited to start adding my fish and corals to my new tank.
I plan on starting a refugium with chaeto once the aquarium is up and going as well as adding additional equipment, I’m planning on adding 2 MP40’s into my main tank and a refugium light and small nano powerhead in the sump.
I’ve moved some inverts into the 90 gallon and hope to move the fish in the next week or so.

It’s always my favourite part to see new tanks and ask this question:
What fish are you planning?
 
I already have a pair of designer clowns, one black one orange, a watchman goby, Royal gramma and a lawnmower blenny
My wish list is
In order of how I plan to add them
Sixline
Tailspot / Midas
PJ Cardinal

Foxface
Coral beauty
Yellow Coris

Carpenter
Red velvet
Scott’s
Naoko

Blue spot
Mandarin
Purple tang
 
Can you have a second wrasse with the sixline I ask because I have a sixline wrasse in my tank and would like to add a second wrasse at some time

I don’t recommend it, the genus that are known as the lined wrasse are VERY aggressive when they’re older and shouldn’t be mixed with other wrasse - They can and most likely will kill that second wrasse unless they are added in last.
 
Thanks that is what I have read before.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
