Hi, I'm setting up a new 16x16x16inch tank soon. This is my second tank.
I've few questions in regards to cycling since its been a year or more that I did my last cycle and I just wanted to be sure I still remember how to do it properly.
Last time I have Microbacter7 to dose with some ghost feeding.
Right now my Microbacter7 has expired last month, and I guess I couldn't use it.
How would I do it properly this time, in the most basic way?
Do I just ghost feed and wait til the ammonia spike and drop, followed with a spike in nitrate? Or do I need/can dose my expired/new Microbacter7?
How long does it usually take?
Thank you in advance
