I'm new to the SW world but have been interested in getting started for a while. Just aquired a 100 gallon tank & custom cabinet with a protein skimmer, power heads, and lights. I'm wondering what else I need to purchase to get the tank set up so it can start cycling. I've been doing a lot of reading about Sump and refugiums and would like to go that route but not sure if I should do that right off the bat or not.
I've gotten a few different opinions on cycling time as well; anything from 2-6 weeks without fish. Any suggestions on that would also be greatly appreciated.
Basically I'm wanting to get started as quickly and inexpensively as possible with plans to add and upgrade over the next 6-12 months.
Thanks for your help
