I recently set up a 55 gal. with 40 lbs live sand placed over 30 lbs well rinsed dead argonite.Ten days later added 50 lbs uncured fiji live rock,and ten more days added another 25 lbs of the same.About two weeks since startup have a large diatom bloom.I guess my main question is at what stage should i start paying attention to water parameters?And when should i do my first pwc?Oh yeah-i'm running a skimmer,two ph's,and a penquin 350.Also 260 watts compact fluorescent on 10 hrs a day.What else do i need to cycle the tank,besides time?In no big hurry.TIA The Gillman
