Tank is Cycled! What next?

I am confused as to what to do next? In what order should i set these pieces of equipment up? I am listing these in the order i think they should be installed. ;D LMK if you would do it differently!

Cheato w/light in sump for fuge
GFO Reactor
Skimmer
CUC
Lighting
VorTech MP10
ReefKeeper Elite
Bubble magnus Doser
Thanks

 

Don't think it really matters! Haha.

 

first do a WC and then add the lights, skimmer, and CUC. Then eventually add the rest

 

i believe you are supposed to have all the filter systems and everything all up and running while it cycles, everything but the lights should be on already

 

add it all at once? make a day of it ;p

 

1. Sump/fuge first, since it wasn't set up when you cycled. That should have been included for the cycle part, but people add them later all the time. I'd do it first, though. If the Vortech is for return from the sump, it would have to be added at the same time. No idea what else you might be using it for, so I'll include it with #1.

2. Skimmer. Takes them a few weeks to break in and perform up to par. It'll help with the water quality.

3. Lighting. But that's just me. Gotta see into the tank!

4. Reefkeeper.

5. GFO reactor. I know nothing about these other than it's supposed to help with algae, which you're gonna get with a new tank.

6. Doser. No point in dosing with no corals in the tank, IMO.

I wouldn't add a CuC until they have something to clean up, so at the first signs of algae, add a few snails and/or crabs. Add more if they can't keep up.

That's just my opinion, and I'm not big into reactors, fancy equipment & such, so just take it as the 2 cents it's not worth LOL.

 

Yeah, add those things that everyone has said to add..

Then just add coral, fish and stuff SLOWLY, even though the tank is cycled it still probably doesnt have the certain amount of bacteria in the tank to hold a high bioload right away.
