OK, slap me with a grouper.
Anyway, I have to start planning some life for a couple of weeks. Naturally after six months of di...er...messing around I want to throw a tuna and a lobster and a mermaid in the tank.
Generally on start up is it best to confine myself to LR, CUC and a couple of hardier fish like damsels for the first month or two? ? Or can I begin to experiment with other invertebrates (mushroom, anemone, leathers) sooner?
I know I will get a small cycle even with very cured LR, and I need some organic equilibrium to set in.
Who wants to throw a suggestion on the barbi?
