Here’s one way we know the bottle bac industry (and associated cycle procedure rule makers) have control over the information market:
someone find and post any published article or book entry on cycling that accounts for skip cycle live rock transfers
(like what runs MACNA conventions for 25 years with instant starts on time, no stalls, unwritten secret system)
there aren’t any, convenient.
100% of material that trains us to cycle reefs trains us to buy/add bottle bac though about a third of all cycles in reefing (live rock moved home, not mailed, driven home easily) need absolutely nothing
the sellers use this secret info
what do buyers use?
macna, and any other convention: has never missed a start date or a single stalled cycle for decades. They cart over cured rocks, clean sand, new water, a tank and fifty thousand in corals nobody would trust to a weak cycle, or one that only lasts five days. It’s skip cycled, fully, is the secret.
forums: if you move live rock one inch, it dies off, our tests prove it. (.25) we need to buy bottled bac to replace the obviously dead bacteria. There is no such thing as skip cycling, nothing good happens fast in reefing (except cash outflow)
the truth is about a third of reef cyclers are getting ripped off due to a chunk of missing truth in training logs. Reef cycles do not stall, but if we think they do, a purchase happens:
