Hi all!
I just got a double tank for Mother's Day and have plans to set up one side as a quarantine tank and one side as a live food tank for copepods and amphipods. I was thinking about using a refugium starter kit to get that side going. My question is, do I need to cycle the live food side before adding any critters? I know I'll have to cycle the quarantine side and will do so asap. But do I just put the refugium kit in the live food side with some live rock or do I cycle it like any other tank?
Thanks
Cassi
