So after an acid/baking soda bath and rinse what's the fastest way to seed dry rock and bring it to life? Just a bottle of dr tims and a raw table shrimp? I'd like to get the new cube up and running as fast as possible. I could add a piece of two of LR from the current setup if that would help.
I also have a ton of black sand I'm gonna use that's been rinsed and sitting in Rodi water for a couple months. Does that need to be added to the rock cycle? Or will the sand become "live" over time in the main tank after the rock is added?
