I used to go to The Aquarium for Dr Tim's, but they are closed. Do any of our Reef LFS stock anything you recommend for cycling? I'm starting an upgrade to 90 and will move over rocks and a canister with bio media I started going on the current tank in preparation. I'd like to give it a boost and would like to support our LFS if possible. Midvale to Orem range would be best.

I'm not an LFS but might have some left over. I'll see tomorrow if it's good and I'll give it to you. I've been cycling using my main tank's rock/water so I don't use bottles anymore. I'm in AF.

Well then... Did a full test and I have high nitrite and nitrate. Looks like the cycle is in full swing. Guess I'm good. :)

Faster than expected, but nothing wrong with that. Now to let the die off from the used rocks finish up. I pressure washed them, but I probably should have soaked in RO or salt water.
