I am using a T5 HO light...I have done one small water change (about 10%) after I went to my LFS and they thought it might help.
The only inhabitant is a small hermit crab which hitchhiked his way in with some live rock rubble I picked up 3 weeks ago to give the bottom some character. Other than that just a few very small cheap and free hardy corals I couldn't pass up (green star polyp, candy cane, duncan and zoa...all doing very well).
My skimmer is producing foam and did within a day of putting it on. I empty it about every 2 days and it has maybe 1/2 -1 ounce of material in it...
Someone suggested putting a couple of mollies in...is that wise when the ammonia is not reading 0? I am going to hit my LFS and check out the Cycle stuff that was mentioned as well...
Cheers

That's hilarious! Seriously though, vodka dosing should only be done if your over 19 and with friends!
Where did you get your sand? Are you feeding the tank anything? There must be a reason your cycle is taking so long.
I wouldn't bother with mollies for several reasons...take my word for it. I wouldn't bother with cycle either.
The tank will cycle, give it time and try to figure out the cause.... and then you'll find the answer.
