Hi everyone. I’m about to start cycling my 120litre salt water tank. I’m going to fish in cycle with 2 clowns. I’ve been advised that this is a updated way and it’s quite common these days.
I am going to add Dr Tim’s one and only then add the clowns.
I have seachem prime and microbacter along side. Do I need to dose with prime daily and also microbacter? Or one I’ve added the dr Tim’s not add anything else? Can someone please help!

dont do any of that do this, it's better matched for your needs

add dr tims whole bottle to rocks + setup plugged in running

add one pinch of ground up fish food

specifically use dr. tims

exclude all other planned additives

add fish food, wait 20 days, done.

wait 20 days, then change a little water and you're cycled and you don't have to test anything. then add fish. before adding fish read about disease control requirements from the disease forum ( fallow and quarantine ) before you add any fish after the ready date. no testing is needed for this approach
