Cycling of 2 feet tank


Weo

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am a new reefer, currently in the midst of cycling my 2 feet tank. I put in live sand using af biosand and cabrisea aragonite sand. How can I make the cycling go any faster and what to expect from it? As in do I need to wait for an algae bloom?

 

Also for aqua scape, I have some old corals but is it safe to use them? I also have some purple looking rocks which I bought from some guy from carousel. Any tips on aqua scaping?

Is your live rocks placed on top the sand or on the bottom of the glass with some egg crate?

If you are keeping sand burrowing gobies, shrimps etc and if the live rocks is placed on top the sand, it will create instability of the live rocks.
