Hello,
I will be starting the slow process of making about 150 Gallons of RO/DI water soon. This is a 120 gallon reef tank (2'x2'x4') with dual-overflows and a 40 gallon sump. The plan is to run the tank at least for a month before any coral / fish are added to the tank. At this time I would like to add some sort of bacterial strains such as ZeoBak / BioDigest / MB7. Any suggestions on what brand or mixture of brands to use? I also would like to run my pellet reactor and hopefully this will not only speed up the cycling process but at the same time be able to culture the different kinds of bacterial strains needed for maintaining a low-nutrient system.
Does anyone have any previous experience with a similar setup? Can pellets be ran during the cycling process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
