Retail is just as guilty on the algae side of that equation. Soon as new people see algae they're triggered to freak out and start doing all sorts of unnecessary things. All the while not knowing that algae is normal and will sort itself out.Cycling a reef tank is 1000% about generating retail money. all the training materials we can source for cycling lead you to a bottle bac purchase, though its possible to attain a completely free and equivalent cycle by waiting sixty days with water in the tank for the whole thing to self cycle (or 30 days if you're feeding fish food as a boost, cheap)
we have been trained to buy bottle bac in reaction to everything. Once bottle bac sellers don't write all the cycling info, that'll begin to re balance.
