How long until my tank will complete its cycle

[vikash345678]

My eshopps skimmers took a while to break in, around 4 or 5 days. Once I got my Tessellata eel in the tank they kicked into action. Great skimmers for sure!

Well what I really want is an snowflake and I know they get big so I know I'll have to upgrade but I think a smallish juvi or a baby should do me just fine don't you think or no ??

Well yes and no. A juvenile snowflake could live in a 29 for a short time. However, that short time would need to be the cycling period of a larger tank.

I cycled my 150 and 90 gallon tanks for 3 months or more.

Ha I sleep right next to my tank and I have to hear the gurgling noise but I've gotten used to it

Yeah same, I've got a refugium/sump so I just stuck it under my tank and sometimes I just stick a pillow in my stand next to it to drown out the sound and it works pretty well.

Lol I have a fan that sort of drowns it out but I don't mind

Eventually its easy to just drown out the sound yourself haha, plus it's a great price, only $100.

I've got the new style 65 gallon coralife super skimmer on my 20 gal and it sucks out skimmate really well, I made a modification to make it quieter which helps if you sleep around it, other then that it just takes time to tune correctly and then it works great.
