come get me tang police!
Since I have a bunch of newly setup tanks and even more to set up, I decided to try a bacteria farm.
Hopefully eco will respond with some insight.
This is the setup so far
29 gallon tank
No decor
aragonite layer to buffer water
4 sponge filters of various composition and size
1 magnum HOT filter stuffed with sponges and padding
1 magnum 350 canister filter stuffed with sponges and padding
Plan: Dosing 4ppm-ish of ammonia as needed, once this needs to happen on a daily basis (i.e. cycled) I am going to stick one of the filters into a new tank and see how it goes. If all goes well then I am going to continue the bacteria farm and cycle 40+ tanks with this method.
My only setback currently is that I don't have an ammonia test at home, so I'm going to wing it for a few days till I can get one.
Any comments or suggestions?
