Am in process of putting together my next tank - 100 gallon hex tall and was considering using live substrate from CarbiSea to assist in the cycling process instead of using the usual danio method (catching them afterwards in the 40 was a trip and would be harder in this tank LOL).
I am not trying to hurry the process at all, just thought it would be as easy as using some gravel from my 40 gallon which is fully established and in excellent health & would also spare the danios a trip back and forth from the LFS and, more importantly, the stress it puts them through.
Helpful comments and/or suggestions from those who have used this method on a freshwater tank would be appreciated since I have never used the products before but hear lots of good thing about it from the LFS.
Thanks!
