Question about cycling
I just finally set up my 30 gallon JBJ Rimless tank, and put in the following:
Heater 30lbs. Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand 15 lbs. of "Real reef rock" http://realreefrock.com Normally, I use fish to cycle, but with Salt water, is this enough? Or do i need to put damsels, in here to cycle? Please help |

Welcome to Reef Central! You shouldn't cycle with fish in there, read the stickies up top and if you have any questions from there just ask.

Welcome to the mix.
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but there have been numerous posts from people who have been having issues with the Real Reef Rock, odd name considering it's completely synthetic.
