Sequence of events

[Saltywaters]

Tank is filled, and water flowing.

I added sand and the water clarifier that came with the Caribsea sand.
I put in filter socks for help clean the water with the clarifier but plan on taking them out once clear

Two things I have that I’m wondering when to add.
Fritz 9000
Galaxy pods from algae barn

If I take the socks out tonight. Do you think the Caribsea clarifier has run its course and it won’t affect the turbo 9000 ?

Also too early to add galaxy pods?

I have fish that have been in QT for over a month now also to add.

I started adding pods about a month after my tank cycled. You will have to make sure they have something to eat like phytoplankton, just don't use too much at once. I really do not know much about the Fritz, maybe someone else who does will come on here.

Too soon for pods. Add the fritz

 

[Jekyl]

Agree with above though that live phyto would be a better addition.

 

[WalkerLoves_TheOcean]

If the tank is not cycled yet, don't add pods.

You can add the the fritz right now.

Do you have a source of Ammonia in the tank?

You can keep the pods alive by periodically opening the lid and stirring the water up a bit, but as I said, I waited a bout a month. I would not add them now.

 

[Saltywaters]

Tank is not cycled yet.

I have had Marco rock in the 20 gallon with 3 fire fish and 2 clowns for over a month now. I have also dosed that tank with Seed nitrifying bacteria. I was going to put that rock in the sump to help.
Also dose the tank with turbo 9000.

As far as the pods I got this combo. I have them currently in a glass jar with an air stone that I turn on a few times a day. Also have been feeding them how algae barn stated to if you need to store them longer than 48 hours.
