Cycling and avoiding pests

[syncro]

What is the best way to get a diverse array of life for your biological filter while avoiding pests like aiptasia and bubble algea?

I've started with dry rock and MicroBacter7. How can I get small worms, coepods and other small life?

Thanks!

One best way is to seed it from a trusted reefer(pest free tank with a lot of life)
I have no problem offering you some sand and or live rocks small pieces if you like.

I remember back in the days,pet stores use to sell live sand (garbage) out of their tanks.

I will give you a good amount of live sand for free.
