Hello I’ve been reefing for several months now and have completed two successful fishless cycles. One being on my 13 gallon the other being my 37 gallon.
I recently purchased a new 60 gallon tank and plan to move the contents of my 40 into the 60 (live rock, livestock, etc…). Obviously, I need to add more live rocks to the new 60 when I set it up for the first time. It will be arriving in a month.
While I wait for the new tank I’m currently cycling my new live rocks in a sterilite plastic bin. I just began the cycle (Dr. Tims one and only and microbacter quikcycle for the ammonia) a few hours ago. My question is can I add bio media balls in the bin as well to cycle along with the rocks? Moreover, can I add any other type of filtration media or bio media to the bin to cycle as well?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
