When to start using my reactor?
I have an Avast Marine reactor that I will be filling with activated carbon (for now) and am wondering when I should start using it? I am setting up a new 34 gallon tank with a small 10 gallon sump. Should I use the reactor immediately during the cycle? Wait until the cycle is over? What should I do?
Thanks

No reason to run it during your cycle. Save your carbon until after your first water change
