Alrighty. I've decided to cure my un-cured LR in a rubbermaid container for sheer convenience. The main tank is simply too large to deal with all those water changes. So, as it is a new tank, should I shrimp-cycle it while the LR cures in the tub (there's 100+ lbs. of base rock in the tank), or should I wait until the LR has cured and then dump it on into the tank? My plan right now is to cure the LR in the tub (it comes tomorrow! =]) and then transfer it to the tank when it's curing/cycling has completed. I would then wait a week and make sure water parameters had stabilized, and then I wanted to add my first fish, and then a cleaner crew once they have something to clean. So, how about it? Cycle them simultaneously, or cure the rock and then cycle the tank? Also, what would you recommend for a cleanup crew for a 120Gal. I'd have to work my way up, but what should I aim for and what should I really start at? Thanks, for everything! ..again!
