you only have 15lbs of rock in a 75gl?

get at least 50 more lbs, let the tank cycle for two more weeks after that. then test your water. if everything is at 0 you can start a SMALL cuc... don't rush anything. no point in stressing out living things. add more rock and go from there. leave fish out of the picture until you all all the rock in the tank you'll be wanting.

Thanks Marie
I have been reading since last Oct. And I mean reading, and reading ....
I realize what I'm up against
I just can't make my mind up whether or not to go fish or coral first

I know, I know ...
I wish I could have found about 75lbs back in Jan/Feb
There wasn't any rock to be found when I was curing it
Now what I did find is cured and the tank is 'scaped

I have a small amount of space in the sump for maybe another 20-30lbs stuffed in but it won't stay clean with the arrangement. It will collect detritus, but I have already been thinking about it.
I don't want to re-scape just yet

Thanks for the input Flash
