Setting up a nano cube (which I haven’t bought yet) and would like to know if this would work………
Buy 25 lbs of LR from liverocks.com (several lbs would be rubble for filtration) and cure it over the next few weeks. Then save my $ and buy the nanocube, add some sand from my existing setup and some Live Sand from LFS.
Once the cube arrives, set it up with the cured LR, sand, heater, PH and water from my existing tank.
If I set it up this way, I would not expect a cycle and should be able to add stuff after a week or so setting it up. Do you agree?
OR……………would I be better off getting the nano, then adding the LR and letting it cycle the tank.
I would appreciate any opinions/thoughts.
