So I'm pretty sure I read the other day a post where several people have pre cycled there tank prior to adding LR to help prevent any die off. For the longest time I read about most people cycling with the LR but I guess either method is practical ? Anyway I've been unable to find the post since and I'm trying to find articles on this pre cycle method so any help would be much appreciated!!! I'm also wondering if I were to go this method what have people had the most success with raw shrimp or ammonia additives??? Pros and Cons ??? And one more thing....what's the idea of using PCV under LR .....stability and to keep the LR from sitting directly on the botttom of tank, creating a dead zone??? Is this PVC piece like a cut off ring, I mean surely not a rounded surface??
