Hey guy, I have a nano frag tank that I want to add water in tonight. I have pukani that’s been curing for over 2 months and I added marine pure sphere balls to it a few weeks ago. I tested for ammonia and it came out zero. So my question was when I Fill up the frag tank do I just throw the balls in and the tank is cycled? Do I need to ghost feed it everyday if there’s no corals Or bioload in it yet? Thanks
 
I wouldn't feed every day, and the bacteria isn't going to die off. Not for a while. They go dormant and wake back up when food is present. I'd just throw a few pellets in it once a week to keep the bio strong and you'll be good. You won't have a cycle, btw.
 
Okay

Okay thanks for the quick reply
