microbacter 7

[sbazain]

wanted to separate the thread running one right now about flow let me tell you theirs a lot of people in this forum with a lot of experience.:smile: my question is the tank is only two days old I used the same rock I had in my 75 used 25 gallons of the old water used the same sump didn't dean it out " had a bad experience once cleaning it " any ways my LFS guy told me to use some microbacter 7 since is a new system even though the rocks are two years old so I went ahead listening to experience and added the microbacter this morning 5 mll per 25 gallons as the instructions say when I got home tonight the water was cloudy in my experience every time I added extra beneficial bacteria without it needing it I would get a bacterial bloom is thats what's happening that the tank had enough beneficial bacteria with the rocks i introduced its about 100 pounds or more should i keep on adding or not

No. I wouldn't have used any to begin with. You're using well established live rock and there shouldn't be any reason to try and cycle the tank. If you added a ton of uncured live rock maybe.... But with a 2 year old system that you basically changed out the glass box there shouldn't be another cycle.

I missed the part about the 100lbs of rock, but still.... There's no reason to be adding supplements. Was the rock dry rock? Cured live rock? Or uncured live rock?

What I meant is I have about 100 to 150 pounds of cured live rock wich is about two years old as a matter of fact their full of coraline algae I justI'm
wanted to know if kept dosing mb7 or not but you already answerd That

 

[Pete polyp]

You should of went with the ulns does if the rock is already cure. The 5ml per 25g is for new tanks.
