Hi
1) I have a fish and reef Aq. that's a few monts old and I recently set up a 60g FOWLR. I was advised to use water and coral sand from my reef aq. in the new one to speed up the cycling. I didn't have enough sand to transfer over apart from a couple of cupfuls to 'seed' the tank and I transferred about 75% of water. Does anyone know by how much faster this speeds up the cycling process? I have three fish in there now ( I know I should use a shrimp as I've read in posts but where I live it's not available).
2) Why are scallops good for an aquarium?
Thanks.
