This is a QT not a permanent tankI'm fairly new to reefing but my understanding is roughly 1" of fish to 5 gallons of water....it sounds like a lot of fish in there

Cant cyle if there are no rocks or sand
I'd be using copper.I’d say if you dose prime EVERY DAY. And do a water change of 50% a day AND have many hiding places you should be ok. BUT, I agree it’s way overstocked. I’d say pick up another 20 gallon.
Oh ok, a 55 is fine. Good choice!I'd be using copper.
I just got a 55 gallon
Maybe use a bottle of bio spira or doctor Tim’s. And if budget allows I’d use turbo start because of concentrationI have one cycled HOB filter, I'm setting up another tomorrow
I've ordered bio spiraMaybe use a bottle of bio spira or doctor Tim’s. And if budget allows I’d use turbo start because of concentration
I wouldn’t use the rock. It’ll absorb copper and make keeping therapeutic levels more difficult.I've ordered bio spira
I've got more than enough live rock sitting in buckets of salt water, could I use them? I dont mind if I must trash it after
Yeah you could but if you get any die off it could do more harm than help but if they’ve been in saltwater for a while you should be fine.I've ordered bio spira

Oh I didn’t think about absorption nevermind my suggestion @Wolf89I wouldn’t use the rock. It’ll absorb copper and make keeping therapeutic levels more difficult.
Do you already have these fish or are you planning on getting them all at once?
I have a sailfin tang, foxface, and convict tang. They will go into the 20. I will be ordering a powder brown tang, a hippo tang, a copperband butterfly, and a tomini for the 55 gallon qtI wouldn’t use the rock. It’ll absorb copper and make keeping therapeutic levels more difficult.
