I am coming from the world of planted tanks where the “best practice” for starting a new tank is to fill it with plants (of course, there is still lots of debate on that as there are in all things). Does this still apply to a salt water tank refugium? Is it best to start it up on day 1 while the tank is cycling? If not, when is it best to start up?
Second question- since Algae Barn is sold out of chaeto, do you have any other recommended source for pest free chaeto? Thank you.
