![]() So my question for you Micheal is......
Since I'm about to start up the new 300 gal I purchased some start up. My plan is to do a large WC on my existing systems and used the removed water in the new system plus taking all the rock out of the existing sump. My question finally is how much start up should I use and do I have to dose more then once and should I wait for a cycle before adding residents, 2 questions I guess lol.

![]() Dose to the value that start UP states on the box you dont know what level of die off you may have in the move, as you cant over dose the system can only benefit.
I would dose twice 48 hours apart then move to the high nutrient dosing schedule and keep a watch on your levels, once down to where you want them go to maintenance dosing. |

![]() Do you have to do anything else when using the Reef Kit? Turn off skimmer for X time, lights down, etc. ?

![]() Is the kit not just 30 vials of all of it mixed? So I turn the skimmer off overnight once every 15 days when doing a single vial from the BioKit Reef?
