Ok, I am reading that ick lifecycle can be eliminated in 76 days. So for new tanks is this the cycle time suggested
Outside of the nitrate cycle are there other issues I should research prior to adding items?
Are shrimps carriers of any ailments that would make them unsafe to add at an earlier date?
I plan on adding yellow tangs as an early cleaning crew. How many and how soon for a 180 reef w dry rock, sump, and water that was delivered by LFS.
At what point do I start the refugium, and where is a good source for safe clean media? Should I add refugium light or wait the 3 months or so it takes to add lights to the main tank, so as to not promote excess algae bloom?
what am I not considering in these questions for this stage of the game? Is there any hardware suggested before moving items into tank?
