    I am just tossing in some food every couple days. Finely chopped shrimp/oysters what not. Also, the cheato is "left over" over growth from my Biocube that would've just been thrown away. Figured it it holds on, then I have some extra already started. The Biocube refugium is TINY compared to my new sump so I need to get some growth started if possible.

    Just started a cycle with 1t ammonium chloride and a bottle of Fritz Zyme 9. Ammonia was reading 6 when we poured the bottle in. System volume is 130g w/ 100 lbs dry rock and 40 lbs sand (will be adding substrate to fuge tomorrow or Wed)...

    Will let you know how it goes.
