Now this isnt my first SW tank, had a FO tank 4 years ago but it is my first reef. Im in no hurry by any means. Just wasnt sure about the Cleaners. I will just wait untill I know the cycle is complete. Right now its moving along nicely. Fortunatley there arent a whole lot of dead critters in my rock, majority of it was in the bottom of the box when I opened it. Now I can see waiting 2 months which is my plan for my first coral (tank will only be Softies and LPS), but know way I can wait 6 months, Id go crazy, lol. Great advice Ram Puppy, I follow your threads closely and think you are a great person to look to when we have questions.
