Hi all,
New to the forum hoping to get advice. I'm a total newb in saltwater, I'm still doing my homework and attempting a nano (5 uk gallon) marine set up. Bit of an odd question but I'm taking a fully functioning ecosystem from a friends 95 gallon and miniaturising it into my little boys 5 gallon. No sump no skimmer just a crap load of live rock (allowing for maximum water volume) and live sand @ 2" deep. My question is this, do I need to cycle the tank as normal or is it all set and ready to go. When I've done this in the past with freshwater tropical I've had no issues but I am not experienced in marine.
Any advice welcome.
Many thanks
Nige ?
