    Just got my 55 gallon up and running last night. I've got all live sand, some live rock from my established tank and ro water with reef crystals. All went smooth and I have a lot more live rock coming.

    I've got live rock, live sand fron my established tank pkus added bacteria. Fish will be fine, not my first rodeo. I've cycled tanks like this with no problems.
