So grateful for the R2R community!
I have a JBJ 65 that has been up and running a bit over a month. Fishless cycle with AF dry rock, TurboStart 900 and AF Bio-S (since I also used AF Bio-Sand). Added ammonium chloride to a bit over 4 ppm and watched the magic happen. Clownfish happily living in there with 0 ammonia and nitrites for a couple of weeks now.
Uglies began about 2 weeks ago and I have 2 nassarius snails happily sifting the sand bed and a small trochus working on the rock.
I'm thinking about adding pods and phyto to the mix to start seeding the tank before I begin adding fish/coral over the coming months. Was considering AlgaeBarn's 5280 Pods + OceanMagik kit.
Good idea? Bad idea?
