Bubbling during cycling?

Congaken · Jan 24, 2016

Am cycling a QT...just wondering if using an air stone will help or hinder the process...especially, re: aerobic or anaerobic bacteria...Thanks...:confused:

Is there flow in there? Airstones can cause a lot of saltcreep and spritzing. If you have low O2 in there, it will help. If it's fine, it won't make a difference. It won't hurt, though.

Exactly right. My whole reef is only ran by an airstone day one through day 10 yrs. Saltcreep is your concern. Not a concern for me due to specialized lid fit

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
