dr tim's one and only

Hello, I’m starting a new 40 gallon tank and I’m wondering if I can use live rock as a source of ammonia so I can add Dr Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria. If I can should I add the bacteria immediately?

Hey everyone! Need some guidance, I’m new to the hobby, when I started my fishless cycle I added dr Tim’s one and only and I added ammonia, I didn’t test the water until week 3 cause I thought I was meant to just wait weeks on end and be patience, and I didn’t get the memo that I was suppose to...

Hey, fellow Reefers! In early January I decided to get my JBJ RL-45 tank back up and running. I had to shut down due to a cross-country move in 2018, and am just now getting back to it! The first thing was to inspect the tank for any cracks or damage incurred during the original cross-country...

Hey all. I have a biocube 32. Currently on day 15 of the Dr. Tim fishless cycle. My current readings are: PH 7.8 (and dropping) ammonia .25 (and dropping ) Nitrite at LEAST 5.0. That’s the highest the test kit will read and Nitrate also as high as the test will read at 160. should I do a water...

I’m on day 7 of using the Red Sea Reef Mature Starter kit on a 13.5 gallon tank. However, I’d love some input from the pros out there on the mistakes I’ve made already. Images + video attached below of my tank...Hope y'all like my first aquascape! Mistakes: -Dr Tim’s one and only - I poured...
