Weo Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 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? The pic below is my 2 feet and my 1 feet tank.

Dennerle Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 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.Hi, I am a new reefer, currently in the midst of cycling my 2 feet tank.
