Hello all;
I have a new oceanic biocube 29 hqi and I am about to start this adventure hopefully the right way.
This is what I have purchase and put in the tank so far:
1. 25 gls of Petco Real ocean Water - Here is the link: Petco Real Ocean Water at PETCO
2. 40 lbs of fiji pink arag-live sand
3. 10 lbs of live rock ( I will ad more later from my existing redsea max 250 tank)
My question to you guys is how should I cycle my tank? Will the real ocean water speed up the process? Should I wait about three days and put a couple of damsels? How long do you think the cycle last?
I truly appreciate all the help that you can provide.
Thanks.
