Marks...Back to the Future..Reef Aquarium

I have some crab meat I can use, but haven't added a bacteria source yet. Just was wondering if the natural background bacteria would start the cycle.

I believe you can. Seeding just makes it faster.

Mark, the other thing I should have mentioned in my pm is I have a bunch of pure ammonia and microbactor 7. I've used this method to cycle tanks. works fine. You can add the ammonia to 4ppm. Add the bacteria and then watch for nitrite and nitrate to start showing up etc.

Thanks...

Congrats on the first fish and coral. Best of luck with them. Can't wait to see the main tank come together

With the constant snow and cold weather my 180g project is on hold for the most part. Rob and I can't finish the stand, I can't buff out the sump and install the baffels. So looking forward to the spring. In the mean time I have my 33g frag tank to feed the hobby.

Made some serious progress with the stand thanks to Rob...
