Cycle tank with Biopellets?

[speedjester]

I’m cycling a 365gallon saltwater pond. I’ve added Fritz9 Bacteria as well as two bottles of Biospira. I’m thinking of moving my Biopellets reactor from my Main DT to the pond to speed up cycle. Not sure if it would help or give me a false reading on whether the tank is cycled.

Thoughts?

Thank you

I have cycled with biopellets and I don't think it helped with ammonia and nitrite cycle time but it did remove the second anaerobic cycle that typically happens when you add biopellets later.

I have an established Biopellets reactor. Wondering if it would help seed the new tank. I’ve added 2 gallons of fritz9 (enough for 640gallons) and threw in a handful of shrimp and a few silversides for my ammonia.
