Question for the more knowledgeable than myself:
I'm currently cycling about 200+ pounds of dead rock, which has been going for two weeks (14 days.) The cycle was kicked off by I'm sure the ton of waste left on about 50lbs of that rock being pulled from my nano. I have lights/skimmer/ATO/Big Gyers for water movement, but I'm not running the lights or skimmer while the rock is cooking.
This weekend I intend to mix it in with about another 200 + pounds of live rock.
The question is, I want to throw a tang in the tub with the 50/50 split live and dead rock. Should I do the current live rock in separate containers and slowly add the cooking rock in, or am I probably good with a combo right off the bat?
