Are you using LR and sand? If so how much? Have you seen any die off of the rock if your using it? What size bio-cube?

Yep 1 for 72 hrs, the small pieces that rotted off went into my filter sock where they still remain.

Yeah and the dry is suppose to be cleaned "professionally" what ever that means but says it will not cause a spike. I'm pretty sure I will see some,...
75g dt with 100lbs dry to seed, the rock and sand (dry) is all I need to start the dt. The fuge will probably remain at 13-15lbs, just a place for...
