I am currently cycling my 32.5 gal reef tank, and it’s been cycling for 1 week. This is my second time cycling a reef tank, but I am still fairly new to it. My livestock is currently an ocellarus clownfish pair and a tailspot blenny. I just have a few questions:
1) Should I do water changes? (I’ve heard both you should and you shouldn’t, so what would be the benefit of either)
2) When should I add other fish and coral?
3) When should I turn my lights on?
4) Should I add chaeto to my refugium during or after the cycle? (Also do I know I can add it?)
I also have a couple questions that aren’t about the cycle:
1) What would be the best fish to add if I have a tailspot Blenny, two ocellarus clownfish, a yellow Coris wrasse, and snails?
2) What are some really good, inexpensive, beginner-intermediate, coral to add? (I currently plan to add zoas, acans, mushrooms, Euphyllia corals (torch, hammer, frogspawn, and Kenya tree), Blasto coral), mushroom coral, bubble coral, and Fox coral.)
