Hi Guys,
I have just set up a new tank and it is currently going through a cycle via Red Sea Mature kit and I would like to transition to full Triton method when this cycle is finished but I'm unsure as to the next steps? I should be finished my cycle next week in which I plan on adding the following live stock,
1 x ball of chaeto algae
2 x Clown fish
8 x blue leg hermits
4 x Red leg hermits
10 x various snail species
1 x emerald crab
I plan on slowly increasing the livestock to 6 fish in total over the next 6-12 months and won't be adding any corals till atleast the 6 months mark as I am aiming for stability first, so I am looking for the following advice, do I start full Triton straight away eventho I won't have any corals for atleast 6 months? How often should I test icp when only fish only for 6 months? Any other advice is appreciated.
