How long does it take aragonite to cycle?
Usually in 4-6 weeks you have a pretty fully colonized bed of bacteria. We like to use Marc Weiss’s Bacter-Vital to speed things up and get a good broad spectrum of bacteria, or get thing started with a gallon or so of our new Araga-Live. See “New Products”. You can also maintain a healthy bacteria count by using Coral Vital or Coral Vital LSB. These products help prevent algae growth naturally, by giving bacteria the advantage, not algaes.
