I will begin cycling my tank soon. I will be using ATI and BioSpira bacteria and dosing ammonia. Same process as my 1st tank.
I have a couple questions.
What is the minimum to have salinity at for cycling? I ask because there is no reason to waste salt if I don’t have too.
And that leads to question 2. I will be adding fish first. And typically salinity is much lower than 1.026. So I would like to keep the tank around, let’s say 1.020 while I am adding fish.
Then, mid spring, a friend will be bringing my coral down to me from Ohio. A few weeks prior to that, I would like to begin slowly raising my salinity back up to 1.025-1.026.
Anyone see any issues with that?
Thanks!
