It’s been two weeks and the tank seems to be cycling. I think the fritz I bought was no good as it’s didn’t cycle quickly. It feels like it is the usually amount of time for a cycle.
There is still some cloudy ness from the sand bed not quite sure how to clarify it. Reading about doing a rip clean that is on reef 2 reef.
Kept working on setting up tank
Hooked up ato
Adjusted return pump to 38 % though I think it should be more like 28% this should make it about a 5x turn over
1900 gph is what the return can do
The power heads were blowing sand everywhere made adjustments
Tested ammonia which was zero, waiting on Fritz to get the cycle rolling
Somewhat cloudy wondering if I should go with reefmat or change mesh filter socks to felt
Added dr Tim’s ammonia to over 2 ppm
And added turbo start

Took two days to get rodi and salt mixed. Finally late Sunday 3-24-24 the aquarium was full and I started the return pump
Trying to figure out the pump had the power on 7%
Was able to change the valve so it was running quiet
Also got power heads going
Heater is going
Very cloudy
