Hi all! So I have a fresh water planted tank (2 weeks old) and I’ve been very confused on some conflicting information on the internet. My tank is a UNS 16 gallon AIO…using Seachem Tidal Matrix in pouch and two bio blocks that came with the tank, and some Marineland bio balls. I chose to use a filter sock instead of the foam that came with the tank. My question is why do some say to remove the filter sock during cycling when using beneficial bacteria? I’ve never heard of this before. Is this true? Best recommendations for bacteria dosing? Any advice or opinions would be great! Thank you!!
