Hey Reefers,
My 40B is still cycling since last week. On monday I added Dr. Tims one and only and I finally saw nitrite yesterday.
Last Thursday I bought chaeto from algaebarn on impulse while they have them in stock!!! and while on their website, I added 5280 cope pods too.
Shipped on monday and they should be coming today. but I am skeptical with USPS. I think it will be delayed another day. so hopefully the pods survives. (another issue would keeping them alive to wait until my tank is cycled)
I reached out to algaebarn and they advised me that I can add the chaeto right away cause it can help with the ammonia issue. so my question is should I?
I am afraid that the chaeto will suck it in and that wont help the nitrification bacteria to grow.
I tried to search but comes up nothing in this forum.
Will adding chaeto during cycling help or not?
