ive recently become interested in starting up a Saltwater tank. I’ve got many Freshwater setups of various types and feel like a little saltiness would be awesome.
My end goal is a 54 corner tank, with a pair of clowns, an anemone, some emerald crabs, some sort of shrimp goby, and maybe a mandarin goby. Probably some corals too
I know these tanks take weeks to cycle, with no real way to jump start it. My question to begin with; since I’m assuming the clowns would have to be QT, can I grow my first portion of liverock in a 10 gallon (I'm scared of the creepy crawlers from pre-cured rock) and once it reads as cycled add in my clowns? I know 10 gallons is on the small side, but for the next 6 or so months is the best I can do before I get the new tank... and before people worry, I have the tank purchased, it’s just stuck at my parents for the time being...
