The purpose for this system is to import saltwater fish from net caught facilities only and to sell them at wholesale pricing. If your intrested you can check out Net Caught Marined Direct on facebook. Thanks for everyones input on how to cycle my system.

Thanks for the pic! Please don't be turned off by some peoples' lack of control. Forum-based users tend to be harsh instead of providing useful information.

Anyway, I hope you are aiming to sell wholesale pricing to wholesale customers, rather than wholesale pricing to retail customers.

The comments you made in your very first post suggest you want to cycle your tank with a fish, and thus subject said fish to ammonia. That is a cruel and unnecessary way to cycle an aquarium. Fish in ammonia-laden water will be subjected to permanent scarring of their gills also known as ammonia burn.

If you're using "used bio" you shouldn't have any need to add a fish to assist with the cycle. For all that matters, just add a small amount of straight ammonia to the system along with the bio material and you will have your tank cycled without the use of live rock (which I assume is what you're wanting to do).

You could have avoided all this by simply stating, "Looking for large fish for 750-gallon system."
