After a full year of delays I'll be starting my first tank (~45 gal total with sump) in a couple weeks and have a few questions about starting a fresh tank with AF Products.
There will be no live rock but perhaps live sand. (?) So basically starting from a clean slate. I would like to start with the probiotic salt right from the start.
What's the preferred method to cycle using AF products?
Should the skimmer and GFO/Carbon reactors be on during the cycle?
Since adding bacteria to the tank does live sand have any benefit?
Much thanks.
