Started the new tank lastnight!! A couple of questions - how long does it take for the water to clear? And when should we start testing the parameters?
Test as often as you like, the more the better you get at it and your water will be ok, hopefully! Should test once a week after your cycle! But as mentioned, we need more info? Do you have LR? LS? Was it dry or wet and cured or established? Those are the questions we need to know in order to take you in the right pathStarted the new tank lastnight!!

Power heads "ON" ASAP and don't shut them off, it's your life line!!!!!!!It's 55 gallon with live rock and live sand (aragonite). I do have 1 table shrimp in it right now for ammonia. I don't have the powerheads or skimmer turned on right now. I have an external power filter too.
I would run them regardless. I've never turned mine off unless I'm feeding.We'll that's what I thought. That's why I didn't have them on. ???
