 Re: How long to cycle a nano hey thanks, i forgot to mention I originally had about 10lbs of live sand as well...my bad about a day after I posted the question I added about 10lbs of live rock...it had a few button polys and other neat critters pop out the other day...took water reading yesterday...NH3, Nitrite, and Nitrate are all reading zero..yeah!! i did notice a few bristle worms cruising around on the rock...any thoughts about what fish/critter would enjoy them for lunch...thanks |

| Re: How long to cycle a nano actually you need to keep the bristleworms. they are sandsifter/detritus eaters. they have a bad rep but they are not bad. and i would suggest 20-25 lbs of LR. dark |
