What do you guys think.
Cycling a new tank with water that I removed out of my other tank when I do my weekly water changes. Extra bit syphoned out of the substrate to make sure that some live do go with it. Also getting some old water from a friend, so that I can fill it up quicker. At the moment I only have new clean play sand (2-3 cm) at the bottom but this weekend i will add two bigger pieces and 2 smaller pieces of live rock from my sump.
I did test the tank after a week, only 1/3 full, and the NO3 parameters was 100% and PO4 slighty blue, anyway almost nothing.
This should speed up the cycle process, and also be cheaper on the salt.
