Saw this article and thought of your tank. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the link, It was a great read! I guess my next step will be researching C02 injection. Thank goodness I've already added the mud.

I added my raw shrimp to the tank today. Let the cycle begin

The 75G is almost cycled now. Ammonia 0 Ph 8.3 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 10 There is still a small pile of "goo" from the decomposing piece of shrimp. Yuck. I don't dare pull it out (stinky!!!)

I have copepods and amphipods in the tank!! I hope to have the macros planted in there by next week. I will only be adding 1 or 2 kinds of macro to the tank at a time. I want to give them time to adjust so they don't go sexual. It seems everytime I add larger amounts all at once, it all dies off. The first two will be the red dragons tongue and the prolifera. Next will be the red and yellow graceleria (spelled that wrong I'm sure). Then I will add the green and red feather. Last will be the blues / purples. If there is any room left after that I will add some of the razor caulerpa and red kelp.
In about 6 months or so I will add the seagrasses. I will have to wait and see how it goes till then.

Here are some updated pics of the 75G. There are a few strands of macros that were attached to the rocks when I put them in there.
