I recently set up my Mr aqua 7.5 bowfront I had in storage. I want to keep this as simple as possible.
Equipment-
Rapid led par 38
Hydor 240gph powerhead
Aqueon 50 watt heater
I set the tank up with a couple of pieces of dry rock from brs and some dry caribsea aragonite sand I had. I rinsed everything off good and filled with saltwater. After everything cleared up and I matched the salinity and temp of my existing tank, I transferred a small piece of live rock and about a 1/8 cup of live sand over from well established tank.
My question is, what else should I do in this situation to start the cycle or will there even be one? I have some mircobactor 7 I sometimes use in my other tank. Should I put some of that in? I feel dumb asking this but wasn't sure....?
