critters come out, come out, wherever you are

[reef tank 2.0]

so, after adding live rock to my sump to get the cycle started.......how long after that would I see any critters come out of the live rock? hours, days, weeks, etc?

there is a good chance I don't have any at all but wanted to know the time frame.

Watch the tank at night with a red lens flashlight, thats when you should start seeing them.

I use the flashlight on my phone and can normally see critters moving around. The red lense would prob work better though

I read somewhere on here that someone had found an app that allows you to cast a red light from your phone. I should have checked it out and downloaded it :hammer:

Yep, found it an app for Android called... wait for it... Red Light

I started current reef with all dry rock and the sump had crawlers at around 3 months
