My SW 38G Nuvo tank is now 14 days old. I have some brown algae, which I've seen here is a good sign of progress.
Frankly, there is too much rock in my tank. I imagine when I start putting corals in there that I'll take some out.
So will the rock that I take out be beneficial in the QT tank?
I read the quarantine sticky. So I would toss a raw shrimp in and start the cycle process. I have a spare hang on filter, so I'd use it with floss and no filter. It has a bio-wheel. And I'd need a heater.
Although, we keep our house temp at 73, but I suppose I'd use one anyway? Hate doing that if I don't need to.
And lastly, how do you keep the good bacteria alive if you keep the tank running all the time but don't have something in it? Do you feed it fish food? How often?
