Getting ready to start a 2nd tank - 7g AIO, primarily be for inverts, with perhaps one fish in the distant future.
Have rinsed special grade sand (dead), a ~5lb dead rock arch (dead), and ~1-2lb mature rock (coraline, bit of GSP).
I am hoping to support at least one hermit crab and an emerald crab early on.
I have microbacter7. Should I add mb7 along with the rock? Should I add something additional for nitrifying bacteria (Dr Tim's, Fritz, etc) or adding initial ammonia?
Would a single hermit crab and adding some marine pellet be a reasonable initial bioload to get bacteria populations started?
We have a noopsyche mini light which I expect should be run at very low power (10%?) for at least the first few weeks.
