Recommended Posts

hey bros

just set up my 2ft tank with liverock and saltwater from tropic marine salt

using a hang on Eheim liberty and a macro aqua protein skimmer

currently cycling my tank with the ocean free super bacteria 8000 and sugar dosing

i was told to dose sugar untill slowly increasin untill bacteria bloom then half the sugar amount and dose daily with bacteria

any comments on that ?

my tank's a bare bed tank so have these rock pieces lying around the floor do i need to clear those ?

do i have to do water changes during these period of cycling the water ?

thanks for advice

image is tank as of yest, 1 day after blooming with bacteria and sugar dosing

I dont understand the sugar part???? :thanks::eyebrow::whistle :whistle

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

I heard about dosing sugar to lower nitrates, but this is new to me too :huh:

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
