Filtration media AF Life Bio Fill

[flondorel]

Just bought 1200ml of https://aquaforest.eu/en/product/life-bio-fil/ for my 15 gallons tank.
They recommend 1200ml for for 105 gallons, what if I use it all on 15 gallons?
Should I use it all or add just a little and add other things like matrix or siporax?

Do you not have rock or sand in the tank?

you are basically 1 click away from that info. That's why I added the link.

I know what it is. The question is why are you using it. What’s your concern that you need it.

Not a great way to garner help on the forum.

Use the recommended amount as suggested by AF. Its pre-seeded with bacteria so if you overdose it then it will lead you towards a bacterial bloom or sudden lowering of too much nutrients which can shock the system.

Depending on your nutrient levels you could go a little heavier than recommended but I certainly would not add all of that to a 15 gallon tank. Start slow, can always add more as you go.

I'm just setting up the tank... AF says that is great for setting up new tanks... I thought more bacteria is better for cycling the tank...what u think?

I also have some activated carbon from sera... Should i add that too now? If yes....the water should go through carbon or af biofill first?
