Hello from Ohio

Hello everyone I have setup a 58 gal. reef tank and I am open to any good advise for making it be as good as possible. I have ordered 50 lbs. of fiji rock and 60 lbs. of live sand for it so far.I Have the orbit lights with 4 96 watts and 3 lunar lights and a wet/dry filter rated for 125 gal. tank and also an coralife needle protein skimmer rated for 125 gal. tank.

 

Welcome to 3reef. What are your plans on cycling the tank?

 

To 3Reef!!!​

Looks to me like you are off to a fine start! Do cycle right and run its course, and it will really pay off in future. Feel free to post pics of progress. We all like to see a new tank coming along.

I am open to suggestions on the cycling of this tank.Thank you.

 

Leave the lights off while cycling - just promotes algae growth.
Don't bother running the skimmer during initial couple of weeks...nothing to skim.

 

Thank you for the information of cycling my tank.

 

Welcome to 3reef and like they say GO SLOW!!
