Thanks bro.. i see this product at FnM also.. did u know how was this Microbacter7 compare with ReefMax Super Bacterials?

i used microbacter7 to cycle tank too. mix salt i personally uses red sea salt and will switch to skimz salt (good reviews so far). if you don't wish to dose yet want to maintain high parameters (big 3) can try Red sea coral pro salt.

Hi Bro,

I just started a tank of the same dimension as well. Used skimz salt as it's the most cost effective based on my research. For cycling, I used prodibio start up with caribsea live sand. Hope this helps.

Hi Bro, thanks for the advise ya.. Currently I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro mix salt due to the LFS intro this to me as this mix salt have lots of element that a reef tank need.. Hope that's true.. Haha.. I'm looking for caribsea live sand too.. May I know where did u bought that?

I switched from red sea coral to the pro version....noticed polyp open better...but for pro cannot mix for too long in your container if not the water will get cloudy..also...before using the salt remember to roll the barrel around couple of times to make sure the salt is properly as during storage the ingredients might settle down leading to inconsistent parameters

Hi Dr Evil, is there any nice or recommended 1..? Haha..

There are 8 types.... So depending on your liking. Best selling will be the Hawaiian black sand.

If u going for high flow, good to have a coarse sand which is the FCC.

So different ppl have different liking

i have some caribsea sand left over if you are interested..

I used H2Ocean saltmix and Microbacter7 bacteria to start up
