Djay how'd you get away with putting everything in your tank without cycling it?

Love the tank.. I've got a 180 from them.. I love my tank after 2 years but man I wish it was a 280 lol

Have to agree. You sure did add alot of nice coral really fast.. I hope everything does good.

All the rock and sand were in a 180gal rubbermaid tub for about 9 months. after 6 months i took the rock out and built 3 large rocks then put them back in the tub. I also had a 90 gal tank on the side holding about 40% of the coral i added and about 60% of the fish. Then the tank came and i took everything out the tub and added the fish plus about 15 more and about 60% more coral that i bought from a local fragswap and i was done. Only lost 1 fish in the transfer and not 1 coral. i did lose about 9 frags from the swap before i even got home, but they were all replaced and are doing great. The color and growth on the corals are incredible and polyp extention are great. I am going through a small algae bloom, but it's starting to die down already. The color on my monti's are eye popping.
