Hi, It’s my first saltwater aquarium and I’m kind of confused about cycling. I have a fluval evo 13.5. I have saltwater, live sand and live rock in it (that was bought from a LFS). I was told:
1. It was enough to start cycling my aquarium,
2. It could take 4-6 weeks to be fully cycled
3. To monitor my ammonia levels (it’s only been a week & my ammonia level is 0.25ppm)
I’ve been reading different articles & posts and it seems like an ammonia source is needed. If so, which is the best source, ammonia tablets/drops?
I’ve also read that ‘Dr Tim’s one and only’ can help speed the process. Has anyone tried this? If so, what’s the process like?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
