Using Old Sub in New Tank

Post by MrTeacherDude » Wed Aug 24, 2016 4:08 pm

I'm starting the process of mixing new substrate for the 75G this weekend. My question is, since I have no mold or bacteria in my current tank, can I add that sub to the top of my new sub?

Use it to "seed" the new sub with beneficial bacteria.

Awesome, that's saves me quite a bit of $$$










...which I will promptly spend on tape, staples, composition notebooks, pencils, erasers, highlighters, and coffee...lots of coffee with lots of sugar...
