Hello!

I’m on day 8 of the cycle using turbostart900 and dosing with microbactor7 & Vibrant. My question, do I run the GFO and Carbon now or do I wait until the cycle is “complete” and I add a few fish? Currently UV & skimmer are off along with not running filter socks!

Thanks and stay safe!
 
in my experience I would refrain from turning on skimmers, reactors, and pretty much any filtration until the tank is table and it’s necessary... so finish the cycle get some fish in there, once that bioload is increased to a point where you need to lower the nutrients then start using all that stuff...slowly though
