Hey guys so I have purchased MicroBacter dry rock bacteria Starter kit. Have a couple questions relating to the cycling.
It will be a fishless cycle. And i have a waterbox 70.2 gal (262L) total water volume obviously rock and sand will reduce this volume.
After reading instructions about how much and how to add the MicroBacter Start XLM
I am unable to find when to the ammonia. Is this done straight away or is it done on day 2, 3,4??
I will be measuring the Ammonia levels after I add the MicroBacter Start XLM just incase it already reads at 1ppm or 2ppm. If so i wont need to add Ammonia, is this correct.
Any help in regards to cycling would be greatly appreciated.
