Hi!
So i have a timing dilemma. I am leaving July 23rd to go out of town for 10 days. I plan on starting my tank cycle this weekend or early next week (Monday) with some liverock and live sand. The LR/LS vendor told me I should be good to go before I leave, thus my housesitter will have to not worry about doing any major cycling duties, just topoff and general maintenance. Then, once i return I'll add my critters/cleanup crew and go from there.
This sound doable or should i just wait till i return in August to begin the tank? I just figure if i can get the LR/LS up in running and get it to be stabile before my 10 day vacation, it'll have that much longer to mature.
I'm trusting what they told me but wanted some 2nd opinions...
