Nitrate 0 RedSea
2 Sicce Tidal 110 filters 75g tank
Sponges & Biomedia
Been 2 weeks or so...thought Start Up was a fast cycler
Do I just leave it alone or add a shrimp or small frozen clam or a different bacteria product?
 
I'm not familiar with Prodibio product. But if it's a nitrifying bacteria starter, it should be sufficient. You can kick start the ammonia with a shrimp or dose straight ammonia if you can find it. But, time alone will cycle the tank usually in 30 days.
