Substraight

[swifto]

I'm currently doing a bare bottom fishless cycle,would adding sub-straight (fluorite) from my other set up help speed the cycle process,as I plan on using this sub straight in my new tank.Also is 8-12 ltr of matrix to much media for a three stage sump or more better.Tank 4x2.5dx2w, 5000 ltr hr Eheim compact in sump.thanks rob :?

you cant really have too much media :)

adding the flourite will speed up your cycle

Thanks Illusn,I'll b adding all 56kgs from my old set up to my new set up and will need more I think.Now where to matrix at its cheapest so far found it at the reef shop for $42 if anyone no some where in Sydney for the same price let us no

you dont have to use matrix for all the media, with so much capacity a bag of hydroton from a hydroponics store will only cost $35-$40 for 50L and has a very similar bio capacity. just stick in an open mesh filter bag as it can float for a few days.
