SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted November 10, 2017 SRC Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ideally the cycling would be done with sand,rocks and filter media so that bacteria can start to colonise and grow inside your filter media.Maybe what you can do is start place all your rock ,sand filter media in your tank with a power head or wavemaker to start the tank cycling while waiting and this will help speed up the processes.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 1 Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
