Default New 42G Setup Cycling

Hi all,

I finally setup my 42G and have water and salt mixed. I'm currently using and AquaClear 200 filter, Eheim powerhead and a Mag 3 pump to move water... well actually I used them in the bare tank to mix the salt - worked like a charm.

My plan:
1. Add new substrate (crushed coral)
2. Add cured live rock (from another tank)
3. Add cup or two of crushed coral from another established tank to seed.
4. About 10 gallons of "used" water from my other marine tank.
5. I am debating whether to add any lighting over the tank for now until the tank cycles. Any thoughts?

I'm also thinking of using the services of a pair of mollies to help the cycle along.

J
