Hi there! I’m thrilled to be getting back into the hobby. Two decades ago, I started a marine tank but then sold everything. Now, I’m back and planning to set up a reef tank. I want to do things right and take my time. I’ve got the Red Sea Nano G2 XL on the way, and I’m also getting live dry rock. Do you have any recommendations or tips for the cycling process? Thanks!

Welcome! I used LiveAquaria nitrifying bacteria on my 70 and live sand. On my 125 I used PNS and live sand. A lot of people like Dr Tim's.
