Starting up again.

40 gallon breeder, invert only tank is the idea.

starting with dry #3 CC, old coral rocks, rinsing it in freshwater I change every couple hours.

I'll have to seed the tank with something soon, ideas?

Welcome to Reef Frontiers.
You looking to seed the tank for cycling? or life, like pods and such?
I know a few of the sponsors here have packages for pods and other inverts.

Cycling. Right now it's but a tank of calcium chunks in saltwater. I should hit up the local shops in snoho for the contents of a dirty skimmer cup, or a live saltwater shrimp from the Asian market maybe.

How about a dead shrimp from the freezer to get the cycle kick started? Check out Rob at Red C in Shoreline. He is the closest store to you and can get you started. Then, when your ready for variety go check out Barrier Reef and Oceans by Design in Renton and Tukwila

HEY! Welcome aboard Reef Frontiers and back into the Salty side of hobby. I'm sure Rob at Red C can help you out with some LR or even Bacteria in a bottle to help jumpstart it for you.

Cheers, Todd

thanks guys for the advice. I used to live next to Red Sea in shoreline, and it's been a few years.

Thanks for the suggestion on Red C, nice to see a real saltwater store this north of seattle.

I ended up driving to the old locale on 175th, being sad it was out of business, look it up on phone and see that it's just a dozen blocks away...bigger and better.
