. Everything is ok, do not make
a mistake of many beginners and buy a fish which will bully other fishes
later. Many if not most of the damsels bought for cycling tank land in
the toilets because aquarists got them without knowing what fish they
are.

Amen to that. But if you REALLY have to do a fish cycle then a common
black
molly will suffice, they will withstand the high salinity and can be given
away afterwards...

I recommend not to suggest that either unless it was dead already.

I was told somewhere that you could put in part of the cleanup crew during
the cycling. Is this correct? -Chris

Yes, depending what do you consider your cleanup crew.
Hermit crabs (blue legs) are pretty hardy, but snails do not
withstand very high ammonia spikes... I would not put any
live animals until you will have ammonia on your downhill.
Nitrites following ammonia are less poisonous in sal****er and
you could slowly start putting animals during 2nd cycle phase.

Would this be a good set-up for me?

I do not think that link worked. It is a Retrofit DX-RDX 36in for 139
dollars.

There are several "mods" that can be made to these units that will
increase thier effectiveness, I have tested some of them on a
Seaclone, (which is back in the box now) and it worked. I read of one
person who used several of the mods listed below and it produced so
much thick, nasty skimmate that he drilled a hole in the side of the
collection cup, attatched a tube, and fed it into a gallon jug so he
wouldn't have to empty it twice a day. Make a mess when they
overflow.

Live rock is one of the first things to be added. Cured or uncured.. If you
had
rock shipped in, it is uncured, and will require a longer cycle.
and as far as seaclones go, most people call them suck clowns. Its unfortunate
that store push these skimmers on people :-\. but I know there is no place to
shop in Rockford

Good Luck

I stand corrected.

Totally of topic - do you know Rod, your e-mail is still posted
on the Splash of Life website ? :-) Nothing has changed there,
old address is listed, old names posted... I wish they updated
their website, at least showing new store address and the date
of "grand opening"... Do you know who is the current owner and
what is his e-mail address or contact phone number ?

Heh, Im not supprised.. The longer that people cant find them means more
traffif my way ;).. J/K..If yoyu call the old number 630-365-9633, there is an
opening date of nov 26, with and address and directions. The owners name is
still Brett. . Meanwhile.. if you need something special?.. ;)

offered me 1/2.. do some old searches on RC (more than a year) or even do a
recent search.. Anyway, finally back at it and if you want stars, Ill dig some
up for free, but you gotta come get em ;)
