Cycle
The cycle is under way!
Usually I have always just gone with ghost feeding to cycle, this time around I only placed the BRS pukani rock in the tank. I figured there was enough dead organic matter, and sure enough it's moving along.
Another first for me was the use of Dr. Tim's bacteria. I'm amazed that only 2 days in, and Ammonia and Nitrites are already being converted. I will take plenty of caution of course, but it definitely seems like a great way to jump start a cycle.
