GElliot's HelloReef 15

[GElliot]

Hi, new to all this but not to aquariums.

I got a HelloReef 15 gallon Clownfish and Anemone kit.
I keep tweaking, photos are already out of date and I will post updated ones soon. I removed the Tonga Branch on the left and tilted the structure 90° so the flat rock on the right is nearly horizontal.

I have a starting out question. Salt is done, my next step will be a bacterial additive. The kit came with Dr. Tim's One and Only. I've read Fritz's Turbostart 900 is better and faster on getting the tank cycled for inhabitants. And also heard to go with MicroBacter.

Advice is welcome, which would be better? After all, that's why I'm here, to learn from ya'll. Thanks

Fritz is what you should go for here.

I used Fritz and Microbacter 7. Also add polyplab genesis daily. I figure the more diversity of good bacteria the better. No issues so far. Corals and livestock living.

I’ve used Microbacter in the past, although using all live rock didn’t really need to as I found out later. I do think it helped give the tank an initial boost though.
