| Re: Where is "Good" Bacteria in Tank??? HELP
Where is the good bacteria in a tank?
is it in...
Live RockYes for SURE
Bio Balls (or filtration ) Yes but they create Nitrates that will overcome your tank if it's a REEF tank
Sand Oh Yes
Water (what about water changes) ??? Yes but not enough to worry about
I know there is a little bit in every part but I am trying to ask where the bulk is.Bulk is in LR and Live Sand
I am asking because I me and my wife both got a 14 g Bio Cube for our office and the Store offered to give us some of there Bio Balls they keep with the live rock to speed up the process.Ditch the BIO-balls if your tank isn't already cycled.. if it has... remove them over a period of several weeks to allow the bacteria to build up to replace them
Is that right?
I thought out of all the places for bacterial to be would be the BioBalls, thats where people would replace with balls with something like a skimmer.
Right? |
