Another tip to cycle water quickly is to add live rock or live sand from another established reef aquarium. The bacteria will proliferate quickly and also help cycle the aquarium quickly. I would still wait one or two weeks before adding livestock, it's not that long, instead add a little fresh sea food, mussel meat etc. That and the bacteria will cycle very quickly, around 2 weeks. It's not that long before we can add livestock.
I have set up many emergency tanks and the coral were fine. No need to wait weeks to add coral. I wouldn’t put the fish through that without some kind of bottled bacteria though. Who knows though, maybe the fish would have been fine without the bottled bacteria because of the coral being in the tank also.
@@cozyaquariumcc Nice. My wife and I are building a house in Hua Hin and I am torn between installing a freshwater or saltwater tank. I've had both over the years, the freshwater was Discus and cardinal tetras, the saltwater was fish only. I've been to JJ fish market many times and was leaning toward freshwater, as they have this one specialty shop that is for south american fish..blew me away as they had wild caught discus and amazing assortment of tetras.....but only recently I sound the saltwater shops in the back corner of the market, plenty of nice fish some caught from Thai waters....where do you get your corals and fish from?
Nice choice for Hua Hin to build your house. We been there once. Very nice view. We got our corals also in JJ fish market, or they call Chatuchak Weekend market. I don't know how to describe the exact place, but it is very close to the bird zone.
i would not recommend this practice especially for new reef hobbyist. i can say that a majority of new hobbyists will feel defeated when they come across all these problems. doing it fast can lead to a lot of challenges. just as you did with the elegance. i recommend everyone new to the hobby to do as much reading, watching and asking before getting into it. this hobby can become very expensive when the new reef hobbyist keeps losing corals and fish.
I tend to disagree. Why not wait while you know that ammonia is toxic for fish, even if they are categorised as 'resistant', there is no need to make them suffer...It's just a selfish behavior to want to start right away, you end up killing animals like in your case. Also Elegance corals are mostly found in the sandbed and require low to moderate light, not sure why it was at the very top, it was probably burnt.

Nothing in this hobby should be done quickly, you'll pay for it later
