Hi,

My new 24g nano cube in week 1 cycle (dry rock + live sand) + ghost feeding. How much of Dr. Tim's one and only Live Nitrifying Bacteria should I use to kick start? Label says 2 caps / 10g. Should I use ~4 caps? And when should i use it next time?
 
Welcome to R2R!

2 caps for 10gal
4 caps for 20gal

I would use 5 -5 1/2 caps full for your tank, you really can not overdose the stuff really.
All you will do is add extra bacteria.
I added the amount for my tank, and then added a little more three days later. (I used Fritz turbo start) it's basically the same stuff.
 
I seeded all 3 tanks using Dr Tim’s. Bought enough for each tank and had fish swimming in there 48 hours later.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
