I'm about to start up a 55 gal fowlr. This is going to be my second sw tank. My plan is to set it up w/60lbs of crushed coral (I don't do live sand) and add about 45 gals of ro/di water. Then to cycle I'm thinking I'm going to do a 5gal water change in my 25gal reef tank and just dump the five gals from the reef tank into the 55. Let it cycle for like a week then add some live rock. Is this a solid plan or should I use the dead shrimp method?
