    Ok so maybe this is a complete newbie question. I've heard great things about John and Reefcleaners, and frankly I just can't wait to do business with them. Question is basically this. Once cyle is complete, will my tank (65g, 95 lbs live rock, 80 lbs live sand) be able to handle the full load of the recommendation I get? I hear alot and believe in taking it slow and introducing new critters at rate comparable to that. My guess is I take his recommendation and break it up into a few shipments over a few weeks or so.

    Just looking for others experiences with this and any info would be great to help me plan my purchase.

    my prefference is to try out a small CUC initially, and once they are seen going about their busines, increasing it

    but the bioload from inverts is not that great, thus I am aware many people would not have a problem adding the full amount at one time

    my prefference is based on the fact there may be other issues with the set up not connected to the cycle and not covered by any of the tests I may have performed at that stage, thus I like to add a few, see all is well, and then continue to add
