Hi all,
A question that's probably silly but is puzzling me as a new reefer doing a bunch of research.
I've watched the WWC/BRS hybrid method series (especially Ep5 and Ep12) and I'm somewhat puzzled by adding CUC at 1 month into the cycle before adding fish at 2.5-3 months into the 4 month cycle.
The CUC have no algae or fish waste to eat, so what is the purpose of adding them in? If the intent is to mature the tank before adding fish and corals for stability purposes, then how does adding the CUC do that? And what do you feed them to keep them alive and striving without mortality to achieve the purpose of having them in there in the first place.
