So I’m about 3 months out from my stocking list. My plan is to scape to my stocking plan and I just ordered rock, then cycle the tank and then start stocking.
Here is my 10+ Phase list so I can slowly absorb bio load and work through a SIX WEEK quarantine for each phase.
36 gallon bow w/20 Gallon sump (Equip listed at the end)
Decades of freshwater exp. but first time saltwater.
Any alterations or change of livestock or orders from the peanut gallery? Would love feedback and why?
