    I plan on cycleing with dr tims one and only
    Ik when you add you should add anmiona source
    What I plan on doing other than putting a fish in
    I will put a small cuc and then add mysis shrimp and brine shrimp frozen food for a week or two and test every other day
    When all stats read 0 for a few days to a week I will add fish

    Ik I may be over cautious but I dont want to see any fish die.
    But does this sound like a good idea

    Sounds like a good plan.

    Don't rush it and plan on 3-4 weeks. :)

    Dont add a CUC until you have algae, they will just starve to death. Also many inverts are very delicate when it comes to ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, even more so then fish
