Got a new batch (50lb) of Branch LR and Bali Alor LR this morning. Smell very fresh. Looks good as well. After giving them some good scrub and salty rinse, they are curing in a 35 gal container in the garage.
Few hours ago, I squeezed out a good amount of yumming dark color bacteria rich water from my existing filters and sponge from the DT. Gave them a good rinse as well. About 2 gallon worth of good stuff dump into the LR container. I just tested the water parameter:
Ammonia: 0.20
Nitrite: 0.25
Nitrate: 80
Wow! A super kick start of the cycle? Didn't expect it would work that fast!
