will my tank be instant cycled with coralline rock?

The cycle would be sped up but I still wouldn’t trust that it is instantly, completely cycled.

Would they care about mangrove seeds on the beach?

probably not lol. But I would still check regs depending where you are picking them up

 

[NoahLikesFish]

No

Why? It would be mariculture coralline and bacteria

Google dosent say like I would be shot on the spot for grabbing a couple from a unprotected beach so it seems pretty safe

Yes batfish, 1" top to bottom then, fed fresh hatch brine shrimp and eventually got to shredded frozen shrimp and cut up shrimp. It's now over 10" top to bottom fin

Well yeah. But it would have all the bacteria just has to settle

It’s not the coralline that cycles a tank it’s the bacteria

 

[|Frank|]

also you're a teenager so I don't think they would care that much that you're picking up seeds lol

 

[NashobaTek]

Are you going to be able to house it when it gets 2 feet long?

Yep because I'm upgrading to a 200+ gallon tank soon

 

[Sharkbait19]

Well yeah. But it would have all the bacteria just has to settle

There would be significant die off though. What’s left needs time to fill in.

I’d be worried though when it gets 2’ long and tall cause you only have a 125 right

So like a week cycle? I’m going to dose biospira too
