I’m in the process of buying a custom aquascape to put in my 3 year old reef. Tanks doing great and I’ll be replacing all the rock in my system, so I want to ensure I do it properly. I plan to get a trash can, heater and ATO to cycle the new rock in before putting it in my tank.
aside from just following the Dr Tim’s instructions, what can I do to make sure it’s REALLY well cycled. Im desperate to do this without any die off of corals.
i was thinking of letting it sit for 2ish weeks and then adding in some of my existing rock to the trash can to help migrate some bacteria over and let it cure for 6-8 weeks in total. Not sure what to do in the 6-8 week time frame other than let it sit though.
any other suggestions?
