Hi guys! I'm new to the fourms but have been following threads and looking around for a couple weeks now. This is my first SW tank and I'm excited to get into the hobby.I really would have like to start with a much larger tank (40 gallons + haha) but I just don't have the room at the moment. For now I have a Marineland Led Aquarium Kit but the filter is an Aqueon. I have painted the back of the tank a blue colour. I currently have a 50w heater in the corner. After a trip to my LFS on monday I now have a good layer of aragonite sand bed, just over 10lbs of live rock and a tank full of premixed saltwater. Owner at LFS (very helpful guy) told me to buy "Fluval Biological Enhancer" to help start cycle. I did and began using that yesterday. He gave me directions to use it for 4 days. Honestly I planned on using the raw shrimp method but he said I could avoid having to do that by using this stuff. Anyone have experience (good or bad) with this so called liquid bacteria? Kinda been reading some posts and I feel like maybe adding fish food as a source of ammonia would be a good idea...
I'm going to attempt to post a picture. Thanks!
