    Taras is such an interesting dude with a great speaking style. He could explain how ice melts in the sun and it would be interesting.

    Loved the new information and all the knowledge you guys shared! I’ll be sure to keep the Molly cycling method in mind if I set another tank up!

    Why does it look like an ADA style tank with Manzanita wood coming out the top?

      Why not be different? New style of rock structure from Kevin trying out something unique and special!

    Hoe do we add filtration?

    • @TopShelfAquatics
      @TopShelfAquatics  5 місяців тому

      In the all in one systems the filtration section is in the back of the tank where you can place more biological filtration or mechanical filtration.

    That caribsea line is the live variety. This is just heresay but adding bottled bacteria to livesand could very well elongate the cycling time. It's possible that the different strains from the sand and bottle could have a warfare to be the dominant species in the tank.

    • @TopShelfAquatics
      @TopShelfAquatics  Рік тому

      Or..... you continuously do the same method that we have practiced here at TSA and have continued success. I have not once seen this extend the cycling, if anything it helps develop a more robust microbiome!
