I don't understand the fish food strategy exactly. You're purposely creating an ammonia spike and killing all your beneficial bacteria. If your parameters are good and you've got live rock that's cured, you shouldn't have to create a spike at all.

Well the fish food thing is to test how stable my water parameter b'coz im not sure how stable it is coz like what I said on my first post there is only 1pound of lr in this tank and the rest are base rock. Little fish food won't kill any beneficial bacteria, if there's enough beneficial bacteria no cycle or spike is gonna happen and if it result to a cycle good.

I'll be testing my water this weekend if it still good I'll be probably adding my first batch of cuc.


I'll post more pic once there is something to show than a tank w/ rocks and full of water.
