Recommended Posts

i am going to convert my freshwater back to saltwater.... may i know if the bacteria on my biohome/bio ring...sand bed....will the bacteria still be available when i transfer to saltwater...will the bacteria dies off away?

If the bacteria is still the same and maintain.... can i skip/shorten the cycling process then...

Kindly advise.

I doubt the bac will survive becos everytime we do a fw dip on LR, most living things will be sent to heaven and the bac also. That should also explain why the LR smell like !@#$% after a fw dip. ^_^

why do FW dip on lr? it's making them DR :upsidedown:
