So I have my 65g cycling with a pinch of pellets as an ammonia source, fresh sand, and dry rock that was bleached to remove every bit of organics from it. Ammonia is at 0.25 ppm and nitrate and nitrite are undetectable on the API test kit.
I added a bottle of bio spira to kickstart bacteria population and tank is still cloudy from that.
My question is should I wait until the nitrate spike to add a couple scoops of sand and a couple small pieces of live rock from the biocube to seed to maximize the likelihood of microfauna surviving the transfer, or should I add it now to help kickstart the bacteria colonization?
