Cycling Question?

[Dundermifflin]

When cycling the LFS suggested adding bacteria (Micro Bacter 7). Is this something that is recommended to do during cycling? Is it okay to add in the overflow box? Says not to add near pump intake (I have external pump near sump).

The dosing directions are confusing. Do I add this daily? For how long? Do I do the same if cycling a QT as well?

It's a 110 gallon FO tank.

Thanks.

See here (http://brightwellaquatics.com/products/microbacter7t.php) for further instructions for it.

Adding bacteria is a good idea during cycling. If you used live rock then this isn't necessary, but with dry rock, then it is better to add some.

As for QT, it depends on how you are gonna set it up.

I have personally never dosed anything for cycling as I either start with liverock, or dry rock with some livesand. Though it might help accelerate the process.
