Cycling nano tank questions
Hey all,
Today I started cycling a 10g nano IM nuvo fusion using dry rock. Two quick questions... 1) Is it recommended to run filter media during cycling? I'm planning on using chemi pure blue. and perhaps a teaspoon or 2 of BRS high capacity GFO if needed. Or should I start these after cycling? 2) Is it recommended to do water changes during cycling? I was planning on about 30-40% change weekly. Or even 2-3 cups a day. Or do people usually start this after the cycle is complete? Note: I did add a vial of biodigest to speed along the cycle. Also added in 10 marine pure bio balls into the back area. Any advice much appreciated. Cheers. |

I would not change the water until the cycle is complete.
I would just let the cycle continue until you read 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite. Change 20 - 30% water after that. |

Also, was wondering, do I need to run a light during cycling? Was hoping not too as I'm waiting for the AI prime to come out as this thing cycles...
