Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am starting up a 35 gal saltwater reef w/ fish and looking for some advice. I have gotten some mixed advice from different people. Our town only has 1 LFS and they say if you get the LR from them that you don't have to let it cycle but, everything that I have read said that you still need to let it cycle for aleast a few weeks. I guess what I am asking is what is true what do I need to do? Also, do I let it cycle with the lights on or off I have a 150w metal halide. also, I would like advice and how much LR is enough for an aquarium this size and when do I need to add the clean up crew. also, how long do I let the lights run....sorry for all the question but it looks like yall know what yall are doing and I want to do it right...
