Apparently the tank came today, but since it was over $200, someone needed to be there to sign for it. I guess that I'm getting it Monday. :/

Well, none of the stuff was supposed to get here until Tuesday-Friday because I got free shipping. At least I got the stand and supplies early so I could put everything together

Well it means that it should finish cycling in the new year. At least that's cool, I guess.

It's better than receiving a damaged tank though.

I have it all set up with freshwater, minus the skimmer. Should I have that on while I cycle or not? Also, should I have carbon, purigen, or chemipure elite in the tank while I cycle?

I would run everything you intend to run regularly while you cycle. The skimmer will break in and the bacteria will grow on your filter media.

I haven't actually started the fuge yet :/ I will use chaeto and caulerpa. If I can find a good light at petco I will try to put it on the second chamber.

On another note, I decided to not plan on getting the green clown goby, so just 4 planned fish. B&W clowns, a yellow watchman goby, and a spotted mandarin.
