Hi,
Starting up my new tank and would like to know what i need to add to the water to start the cycle.
I have some live rock and base rock.
What else do I need.
You will get alot of die off from the live rock which will start the cycle. Dosing sea chem stability will help to increase the bacteria growth and shorten the cycle abit
That salinity range is fine, use biodigest, biotim and stop ammo.
My tank is sycling a bit over a week now and all the corals and fish are doing fine and look happy.
O yea and life rock.
Nope, Just water. Live rock and base rock in different containers with the proper water that I got from my friend.
The water was just to check that all is working. Drained the tak last night as I found a leak on teh plumbing and needs to be fixed. Will be filling the tank the week end with the ro water and salt mixture. That is why i asked what else needs to be added to the water to start the cycle.
why not add some Mollies , to get the cycle going .... will add some activity to the tank while waiting for the 4-6 week period for the tank cycle to be running properly
