So, I am about to start cycling a new tank and I wanted to see thoughts on this for optimal biome cycle. So I am wanting to do the following.
Dry Rock
Live Sand
Aquaforest AF life source (a moderate amount mixed in with the sand)
Dr. Tims
My goal is looking to hit a good biodiversity and a solid beneficial bacterial population. I watched the whole series on the Biome Cycling and I heard Ryan Batcheller from BRSTV talk about possibly mixing Aquaforest AF into the sand, but no further details. Has anyone tried this or a similar method and what was the outcome? I am not looking for opinions on the products I am using I am more interested in the actual science behind the method and if this will help establish a healthy diverse bacterial colony.
