    I just set up a 55 gallon tank using fully cured LR and its been about a week and 3 days. water is starting to clear up, I say this only because I have no idea what a cycle is... anyone kind enough to elaborate? I am new to saltwater aquatics and would like to learn as much as I can. this is my first project. Thanks

    When you stop using the microbacter7, your tank will crash. Gives you a false cycle when you use it. That stuff is really for QT tanks as well as amquel plus to remove ammonia quickly.
