Yeah its costly when starting it up the 3 on and off is only for existing systems to prevent shocking stuff. For so,e reason when i did it i did drops not mls so it was not as bad as the way you read it

Oh nuts. I spent all this time hacking up the reactor pump lines to get a check valve in there and I didn't actually need to ? Oh well, hehe, water under the bridge. Note to self: "check assumptions more before".
Tank cycled OK using just drops? Did it take any longer or did you push on ahead anyhow and things were OK?

The vertex zeo reactor has a check valve to keep water in the reactor. I started it and was very happy with it i hardly noticed a cycle
 . If you do this cycle prepare for some of the nastiest algae you will ever see in a tank then boom gone. I would get like a few inches of growth on the windows a day. But it worked well never lost a thing when i moved my tank.
