live sand seeding

Hey, I am upgrading to a gallon aquarium from my 30 gallon biocube. I have 40lbs of aragonite sand (not live) and 20lbs live sand; but i was wondering if i should get like a cup of my biocube sand to help seed and cycle my tank, along with uncured live rock/.

tank = 50g

 

You missed how big the new tank was--anyway yes it would not hurt

 

I took water and sand and did notice a huge diffrence when starting my 75 up. It seemed the cycle time was almost nill. But some will say it don't work. It did for me

 

im not sure wut u mean by seeding

 

taking a little sand from established tank and putting in cycling tank.

 

hey all i was thinking of doing the same i just started a 29g for a goby,pistol combo i took 15 gal from my 55 reef and 10 gal from my 47 gal reef but i wasnt for shure if the sand would help cycle

 

Yes. Move a couple cups over. ou'll also be bringing over some good worms and such.

 

seeding is what i do, i always do!...i use the water from my water changes to add to my tank too...i do a gallon per every 10 clean
