    Thanks, very useful.

    I do have a question to add.

    At what point do you start your sump? After the cycle has been completed? Before?

    Thanks for taking the time.

    You can start it when you start your tank up in the very beginning that way it cycles with the tank, if you have a fuge with it. Either way, if you start it when you first start your tank up, you can get all of the bugs out before you start adding things.
