It really is that simple! Nutrient export like water changes is very important. I recommend 25% and no more than 30% weekly. If you skip a week, check no3 and po4. Or do two small water changes that following week. Your mechanical filtration can make up for water change loss. But don't forget, water changes are to replenish trace elements and things like calcium, alk, magnesium. Also to help buffer pH.
That is a different ball game. You have Live rock, dry live rock and dry rock.
I have a stash of thT in the fridge lol part of the reason i am looking to start amother tank. Biospira just speeds up the entire cycle . Took about 11 days both tanks i cycled. Had to dose ammonia , ans finally it was able to take ammonia and nitrites down to 0 within 12-24 hours. It really does work . I have thay and dr tims in fridge.
All this talk. Making me want to go buy the stuff i need now. But have to wait for a couple weeks. A trip to las vegas coming up and id be directly in the middle of cycling .
