Aquarium Advice Newbie
So everyone just a quick intro Im new to AA and have been out of the aquarist hobby for over 20 years now. Just finished building a 150 gallon tank with a 55 gallon sump. Now here comes the problem. My wife has always been a SW fish hobbyist now me I have always been a FW. She really wants this tank to be a SW and Im not convinced but she usually always gets her way. Now I am in the process of doing a fishless tank cycle.. Its been cycling for a few days now and I expect it to take 6-8 weeks to cycle. So the question is, If I do decide to make this a SW tank will adding the Instant Ocean Salt mess up my cycling. I mean we are creating good bacteria for our tank and If I add the salt It shouldn't hurt right? I don't think this will create a problem but I wanted to get some ppl's perspective on this. Ohh and I can't ask my wife cause she will dog me for days, but did say it wouldn't hurt the cycling since it just started. She said just add a couple of dead shrimps along with some live rock in the sump. Happily Married for 13 years now.
