Someone please tell me how I am supposed to cycle a 20 gallon IM nuvo fusion. I can’t seem to get a clear answer from the internet/YouTube. Apparantly there are a billion ways to do it!?
I will be using caribsea live sand and caribsea life dry rock. I am making my own saltwater with rodi water. I am planning on just doing a very easy basic beginner tank with beginner corals and a couple clownfish.
I ordered some brightwell microbacter start xlm to help with the cycle but have since learned not to use it with live sand?
I don’t want to use live fish because of the potential harm to them.
Sooooo what do I do? Add ammonia? Add a frozen shrimp? Also, so I need to remove all filtration for the cycle? Clearly I am brand new to the hobby. I have been researching for over a month and still feel confused about everything. Ha! Help please! Thank you so much in advance!
