Re: Hello...hating life during new tank cycling

Welcome...Great advice one here. Some of us are hardheaded and learn from failure...lol. I have had 3 tangs in my 65 gallon and all have failed. Frankie warned me of that, lol. It is good you found this site, I wish i had found it in the beginning.

I would recommend a good skimmer...and go slow. Soft corals are what I started with...Leathers, mushrooms, etc. Although I added my anemone after about 6 months and have had no problems. Been doing this for 2 1/2 years. I guess I got lucky.

You would definitely need more light though. And they do move around until they get settled.
