Hi All,
Looking for some advise please,
I have recently purchased a new tank to keep me busy whilst i wait for my renovations to be done. the tank has a total water volume of 230 lt.
i have placed about 20 kg of liverock in the DT (balance to come from running lido 120) and about 20 kg in the sump. i have also also put about 40 kg of aragonite in the DT.
All of the above was originaly in my previous setup which was shut down a while back and has been cycling in my fathers garage in plastic drums for the past 4 months.
My question is,
how long should i let the tank cycle before moving my livestock and corals across from my lido 120.
Livestock,
Bubble tip anemone
2 x black percs
4 x hermits
4 x snails
Corals,
3 x different types of Zoa's
1 x candy cane
1 x brain coral
2 x pin cushions
1 x leather finger
1 x hammer coral
1 x torch coral
2 x pogoda corals
2 x xena
1 x gsp
4 x different types of mushrooms.
i seem to have lost my marine care test kit during the move. will purchase one tomorrow and check water parameters.
Just want to get a feeling for the recommended cycle period, my big concern is the anemone?
The new tank (230 lt) has been running for 6 days now. i have heard of guys doing the move successfully within a few days. i want to make sure that i am safe though.
Thanks in advance.
