Moving from a IM 25 Lagoon to a Reefer 350. I was debating sand or bare bottom and after watching the BRS video I’ve decided to do bare bottom. With that said, I have a large bag of Matrix and a bag of Marine Pure balls in my 25, both about 18 months old. BRS says their results were drastically different and avoided or decreased some of the short term issues using established bacteria to seed the cycle versus starting with nothing. But their results were a Marine Pure brick, from their mixed reef in their video, into a much smaller tank. Mine is the opposite. Is it worth using one of those bags (I’d probably elect for the smaller marine pure bag so it doesn’t disturb things too much) from my lagoon with established bacteria during the cycle?
Im not sure that amount of media would even make a significant difference in a tank 70G bigger?
