Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have recently filled my new 70 gallon tank with saltwater and crushed coral.
I am wondering what the best method is to start cycling the tank. I bought a product called "CYCLE" which is supposed to seed bacteria and speed up the cycling. I have not put this stuff in yet because I am unsure if this is a safe method. I was not planning on adding live rock but it seems like the best way according to the posts in this forum.
Also, I have ordered a protein skimmer and should have it next week, is it a good advice to start the cycling without this. My filter is a FLuval 404.
Any advice would be appreciated
