Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi there,
My 240 gal tank is now cycling for the first time and I have a question. Once it has cycled with 160 lbs of live sand, and two pieces of raw shrimp tied in the toe of a line secured pantyhose, can I add about a quarter or third of the cleaning crew to start, or should I add them even more slowly?
There will be about 150 plus in the crew all together, and there are a "Buzillion" places for them to hide with the aquascape I did, some will be eaten with the lion, trigger, angel, butterfly,etc I will add later, but I would like to have as many as possible survive. I am just concerned about the bio-load when I first introduce the "crew" to the newly cycled tank.
Thanks for the help,
Bear
