The reason I ask is because the exact same method is used to achieve a fishless cycle in SW as in FW if you consider the shrimp route.
AND the same bacteria developes as well (or at least as far as I can tell).
I've used the transfer method on my last two FW tanks with minimal spikes and very quick mini cycles.
So I'm trying to figure out if it will work from FW to SW...and if the answer is no,does anyone know why not?
The yes or no I can live with either way,but the understanding that comes with knowing why not (if no) will help get my head straight concerning the differences between FW and SW at the bacterial level.
