Just aquascaped with dry rock. Im tossing my aiptasia infested live rock out.
I have 2L of Seachem matrix coming from a clean established 2yr old tank. Will that allow me to skip cycle bacteria wise and house my clown, tang and a chromis and my corals?
Tank is a 75g.

We know biomedia can take the place of a lot of live rock but really, how reliable is this?

It is hard to say if it is enough but it should help. If you have enough turnover through it id imagine it would work pretty well. You can always throw some one and only or MicroBacter xlm to rapidly establish new rock.
