Should I be running a Diatom XL Filter while cycling?
I am in the process of cycling my 77
gal
tank. What I was wondering is, should I be running my Diatom XL Filter? Will this impede the bacteria growth in anyway?
Thanks

how big is your tank?
i was looking at your gallery and it looks to me that if you are doing more than a
fowlr
tank than you need ALOT more live rock.
Just letting you know
