My head is spinning from reading so much today. There are differing opinions on everything. So I figured I would ask opinions on a couple of things.
1. Can I use live rock to help cycle the tank or should I wait to add until it has cycled?
2. How deep should I have the substrate? I am planning on a reef tank with a few fish. (75 gal tank) I am using aragonite for my substrate.
3. Should I start my protein skimmer day one or wait till tank cycles?
4. Do I do partial water changes during the initial cycling? (First 30 days)
Thanks in advance.
