Has anyone ever used the product called "Cycle". I used it in my 29g tank with no problems, I am currently in the process of cycling 2 5g MiniBow, 1-reef, the other FOWLR. I added some to those also. Any bad reviews of this product? Thanks
Cycle is ok for fresh water but I have heard that it is not so great for salt ... the main reason that I have heard is that it will cause algea blooms (not sure if it is true or not ) Just by adding your live rock and sand will seed your tank enough to push it through the cycle , with the die off from the live rock . And since you already have a cycled larger tank getting the stuff to seed it should be easy , you could even add about 1/2 the volume to the 2.5 and fresh salt water to it along with some live sand and rock from your established tank to greatly reduce or eliminate the cycle all together ! Oh and welcome to Nanotank
