Thanks for the offer Kenn, but I decided to buy a small chromis, 3 tiny blue hermits, 2 nass, 2 cerith, and 2 astrea snails. This should get things going. I still think I will have little to no cycle. I do appreciate all the comments. It may have sounded like a pretty basic question for as long as I have been in the hobby, but I really have never done things the way that they say they should be done. This tank is going to be different as I will be doing regular testing, and I have a better water source this time around. My ro/di is producing water with a final tds reading of 13. A huge difference from my 475 tds I get from my tap. I have always used treated tap in the past with decent results, but I have always battled algae. I am looking forward to seeing how differently this setup goes.
