Here are applications for Dom's question related to common posts:
-during fallow if you dont have fish present, and you dont add food during the wait, can you add your fish back all at once and still pass all ammonia safety?
-I have ten tangs among rocks and sand for 5 years. if i remove all sand instantly, does the live rock need time to take on more bacteria, is removal in sections of sand required to allow new growth time?
-when I buy live rocks at the pet store that have living coralline, some fanworms, a little algae attached, do I still add bottle bac and add ammonia to 2 ppm? Why do 100% of all cycle materials in books or online not differentiate live rock transfer vs new rock cycling?
100% of all training materials says add shrimp, dose to 2 ppm ammonia, add bottle bac, wait till api shows zero ammonia. dated cycling info doesnt differentiate, it has you burn your animals paid extra for. if we add true live rock with worms and pods and attached corals, why in the world would we burn them with dosed ammonia, we know filter bacteria are there by association to living creatures
cycling rules for the hobby actually dont make sense when work thread patterns are analyzed.
