Hello Fellow Reefers!

I just started to cycle my tank today using Fritz turbos start. 25 Gallon I don't have a protein skimmer, Temp 78 F , Salinity 1.025, Carribsea Life rock , Carribsea Live sand fiji pink

I need some help, is it normal to have alot of foam build up in the first chamber of my sump (where the water drains into) after i have added bacteria?

I added a little bacteria first day and noticed the foam and over few days it calmed down i took out as much as i can. It gradually went down.Now I added the whole bottle and the foam is back.

Any Help Please?

Thank you in advance !!!

I've seen this before (with fritz turbo I believe). Seems normal, just need to wait it out. Did it go away?
