I'm surprised that you found so many people saying that it takes months to cycle. That's pretty outdated information. With bottled bacteria, you can complete the entire nitrogen cycle in only a few days, fast enough to remove the ammonia before it becomes concentrated enough to be a danger to fish. The longer you wait to add stuff and turn on the lights, the fewer problems the first year issues like photosynthetic pests and chemistry instability will cause you, but you can for sure make it fish-safe fast and even keep it stable enough for coral if you are proactive at finding problems before they crash the tank. I wouldn't use Dr. Tim's for that though. It's a very useful and diverse blend of bacteria that is great for preventing and outcompeting photosynthetic pests and harmful bacteria blooms, but it takes a while to start working. I personally use API Quickstart or Brightwell QuickCycl to get the tank going and then I add Dr. Tims after a few weeks to help prevent the uglies.
same, and some bottled stuff like frit turbo start you can technically even do same day, i only would do same day if tank is over sized and you are understocking tho. But iv even cycled doing the old way cause i was being stubborn and didnt wanna buy more bacteria and it only took a month to cycle lmao
This takes me back, i dont go to forums whatsoever because its full of opinion peaces, filters don't take long to set up if you know how. def not a year
One of my dreams is to have a seahorse tank someday! Thanks for showing us this experiment. Of course, I will be sure to do plenty of research on keeping seahorses before I start.
To be honest, cycling fish tank is some kind of ritual more than a real thing. Freshwater or Saltwater, I only wait for like no more than 5 days to drop the fish in and they go just find. Not to mention, my country tap water can't even be drunk.
Oh i see the confusion. Theres an anemone at like second 30 and a torch coral before the 2 min mark. The torch coral is being miss identified as an anemone. All good tho :)
You should still add beneficial bacteria, either from a bottle or from live sand/rock. The nitrobacter bacteria that processes toxic waste is benthic, not pelagic, so it isn't found in abundance in the water column but rather in the rocks and sand at the bottom of the sea. The sea water itself won't have what the tank needs to complete the nitrogen cycle.
The sea anenamie that you said in the beginning is a type of coral call a torch ( clownfish can pair with it and many more corals ) I have Been in the reefing hobby for 9 yeras
7:44 symbiotic means when 2 animals both benefit like in the anemones case it would get fed scraps and the anemone fish or clown fish have a home that how it works in the wild atleast 🗣️🗣️🔥
0:09 - Frick you, you broke the most imortant rule of poster designing which is spell checking, even though you wrote it in draft with blue and the final in red!
Pulsing xenia is not a plant. It's a soft coral. Corals are cnidaria like anemones and jellyfish, which makes them animals. Also, captive bred clownfish sometimes have trouble recognizing anemones as friends. I saw you had a hosted clownfish in another tank. Sometimes letting a confused clownfish see another clownfish hang out in an anemone will trigger it to attempt to move into the anemone. You could try moving the pair of confused clowns into a hospital box in the tank with the hosted clown. That worked for me. It's a shame you failed to instantly start the tank. Dr. Tim's isn't the right bacteria blend for an instant tank. In my experience, it takes Dr. Tim's bacteria around 8-10 days to colonize the rocks and start the nitrogen cycle, while other blends like Microbacter Quick Cycl work within hours. I personally use microbacter immediatly and then add Dr. Tim's later because it is slower acting but more diverse blend that is better at stopping and preventing photosynthetic pests.
This video is incredibly misinformed. I will list your mistakes below 1. With modern techniques a saltwater tank can be fish and coral ready the day you set it up 2. The rock you used is not live rock it is life rock, the key difference between the two being that live rock has actually spent time curing in the ocean or a saltwater and must be shipped and transported submerged in water to keep the bacteria and other life alive. Whereas life rock is a product produced by a company where they coat dry rock in a specialized formula that according to their marketing, increases the rate at which bacteria can colonize the rock.
So much wrong in this video. Cycling a tank for many weeks or even a fucking year is stupid. Thats completely outdated but somehow many beginners in the US still say its the only way while here in Europe we cycle with coral from day two or three for years. The filter setup in this video also makes no sense. A simple protein skimmer is all it takes. Yes, it is that simple.

Tampa built different than I’ve seen dozens of tanks with fish fresh out the sea in brand new tanks and they been doing it for years
Good job
Ok, got the feature w ur boy riff raff. My guys doing it big over here!
Those anemones at the start are actually torch coral
no they aren't, torch corals have much longer and thinner tentacles.

If you use saltwater from the sea and filter it you your tank is ready in a week
Second this

Then I'll have it easy (the ocean is literally my backyard)
Cycling tanks quickly is pretty easy. However I wouldn't recommend it to people new to saltwater.

You definitely don’t have to wait a long time to add clownfish. 3 days for clowns is nothing as long as you’ve seeded the tank right.
That’s exactly what I did , I literally putted clowns 3 days after I built the tank and they are still thriving 2 years later!
