I have a Class 4 certification in waste water treatment, I am more than qualified to have an educated opinion on bacteria. Your concept of cycling a tank only scratches the surface on what bacteria do in our ecosystems that we call reef tanks.

Did you cycle your tank with gut bacteria to enhance fish immune system?

Bacteria produce enzymes to do many differrent functions. These bacteria are short lived in our artificial systems. It is your tank, put what you want into it.
