(Equipment)
I bought Seachem Stability to help jumpstart the cycle & started dosing/ghost-feeding Saturday. I had been using flake food the 1st few days but switched to dry shrimp pellets from my daughters FW tank.
I’m on day 4 of a lightless cycle to give the bacteria a headstart.. still very little ammonia to date & wondering if I should increase the daily ghost-feeding amount.
