I'm planning on getting a waterbox 90.3 in a couple months, I currently have a fluval evo 13.5 thats been running for about 4 months and have dots of coralline algae all over the rocks, zoas, a torch and a hammer all doing really good fish and inverts are all doing really good too, seem to have a healthy pod and at night a load of amphipods come out I did have quite a bad ugly phase though which fingers crossed is now over
with my new tank I would like to try minimize the ugly stage and have the rock ready seeded so I can kick start the new tank, I will add my current mature rock but it's only 2 decent sized rocks so won't be enough for the big tank
I have a old clean 70 litre tank that I am planning on filling with brand new marco dry rock and placing a powerhead and heater in to cure/seed the rock in time for when I have my waterbox
Will ghost feeding with mysis be enough to get the rock cycled? I was also thinking of taking my current fluvals dirty filter floss squeezing the crud in? I did that with freshwater tanks and it pretty much instantly cycled smaller tanks
