Starting a new tank with bio pellets!!!

[BullyBee]

Hey now. I am starting up a tank real soon and wasn’t sure if I should add bio pellets as soon as I start the tank up, or should I do it little at a time?? I’ve been doing research reading posts on here but they were back in 2011. I didn’t know if anything changed on this subject.

wait till you need it.

Is that because if used improperly it can cause cyano? I can add my carbon right away right?

not needed to your bio load increases

If you want to get ready for the Apocalypse, two things cause people to leave the hobby, algae and fish deaths, so get a QT going, and start a fugue, or get a proper algae reactor.

already have a QT. I am into planted tanks And axolotls. Algae is a fact of life in my opinion, it’s just how much. A little Co2 goes a long way...

I’m gonna set up a salt QT once I add water to main tank. I don’t plan on buying fish for a long time (2 months in and I’ll begin to think about it).

I iust wanna be ready. No surprises. i also have to take advantage of how far my American dollar goes in Canada right now. It’s $1 equals $1.40 in Canada right now. It’s like high way robbery With some things :)
