    wait a sec , please - did this tank fully cycle. Can you tell us what you did from the start? you seem like you have more questions than answers so let us help you by giving us some information first. Please tell us what you have done from the beginning, the set up and what;s in it.

    Alright. I have the tank up for about 1 month and a half now, added some live sand, live rocks, snails, and a damsel. I have a protein skimmer. Started it up with the tank and yeah thats about it. How long does it take the tank to fully cycle?

    I feel like I am being punked - am i going to be on MTV ?

    whatever - remove 10-15% of the water weekly and replace with RO/DI salt water (well mixed, and warmed to tank temp). Good luck
