I have kept fresh water fish for years, mainly cichilds. Cycling for those tanks has never taken that long, and everything I have read tells me saltwater tanks take longer. I tried my hand at a salt tank a couple of years ago and didn't do it right. So I have a decent idea what goes into keeping certain corals, just never really gave full attention, so this round I want to do it right. Have a refugium, metal halides, decent protein skimmer enough rock calc reactor and other dosing pumps. When it is ready I am probably going to add 5 or so green chromies as I have seen them in other tanks and look pretty cool as they school. After that and when the tank is ready a sailfin, a jawfish, some sort of watchmen goby, a long nose hawk and a blenny of some kind. I am going to first start with soft corals, mushrooms, and polyps to start. Thanks for the help.
