What do you have for lights?

Kuhuna - I would wait a while. If youve only had the tank up (and been in the hobby for) two months I would hold off and let the tank finish cycling.

Erin - Were you asking me or Kuh?

Let the tank finish cycling? Sorry, don't know what that means.

Cycling is the process during which your tank creates it's biologic filter. Basically if you dont wait to the tank has cycled your levels will spike and kill off live stock. Might want to do some reading in the 'New to Reefing' forum as there is a lot of great information about initial tank startup and livestock introduction.

Thanks that was helpful. I spent an hour last night reviewing all the reef information.
