Wow amazing!!! Tell us your methods on how to make a quick cycle happen

 

[What up thou]

Water and live rock from an established tank is a +
Live sand
Instant ocean
Bacteria
And constantly check your parameters
Sump for one week bio balls then change to rubble rock cheato and small sand bed
I was ready for fish in 3 weeks

 

[What up thou]

I know people dont agree but hey worked for me...

yea i used 60 % Water from established tank the rest 40 % instant ocean .
my tank is a 35 gal tank i went with about35 lbs of live rock..
and went with a 2 maybe 2 in a half inch sand bed ( live sand )
sump - live rubble rock and a 2 inch sand bed with sand taken from established tank.
no sock for about 1 week heater on high 80 degrees to help with bateria grow build up .. test your waters nitrite will be a little high do water change 30 % of your water and add sock to sump wait a day or two check water ph will be low add buffer to bring it up.. wait a few hours nitrite ammomia and nitrate should check out... start off with mushoom type coral... then a hardy fish... and slowly bring down water temp to 80 degrees and dont do water change for a while to help with more build up of bat.... specific gravity at 1.022-1.024 and thats where im at now all my water parameters and calcium is on point ..

ill keep you guys updated since i still do want to bring my temp down a little more to about 75 ..
but yea my zoas frags grow fast my duncans open up big and so do all my mushoom hammer tuip and frogs tip and torches .. my blue magicans color looks great eagle eyes look great fire and ice and dragon eyes look great and big.. my dwarf loin fish looks great and eats just fine.. i notice lil white bugs dont know the name of it but i was told thats good you can see them at night with lights off.. i know it was rushed.. but theres always short cuts in live... hit me up if you got any questions.. oyea i have a blood shrimp lol

Just when I thought magic was real :'( LOL

Lmfao...you never stated your position at NASA which we are all eagerly waiting to hear!

Now let me edumacate you on a few things, rocket scientist!

1. There is not a hating bone in my body and I am not a "guy." The only things I hate is that the foxface died!

2. The only livestock that I've ever lost in my tanks...carpet surfed...(2 clowns & 2 sexy shrimp) which is something every hobbyist has experienced.

3. I'm willing to bet "your" a$$ that the foxface died due to conditions that it was housed in...in your 6 day old/fully cycled/fully stocked tank!

4. It is an acceptable fact that noobs make mistakes...we all were noobs once...the thing that's pissed people off about you is your disregard for livestock/know-it-all arrogance because you "wor for NASA."

CTFU...now go back to NASA and resume scrubbing their toilets with your toothbrush! :type:
