How to Cycle Dry Rock for your Reef Tank!

Today we start our second part in our Nano Reef Tank Series! In this video we are going to discuss, and set up a separate container to cycle our dry rock for the upcoming build! Join me as we break down this process!
Do you pre-cycle your rock before adding it into your system?
Big shout out to Caribsea for the rock, and helping keep this build moving forward! Be sure to check out their website for more information:

I like that you’re taking the time to cycle the dry rock! I always rush it!

[@kingtidecorals]

No need to rush it right? I always enjoy the process of cycling and making my own rock “live”

[@Ceo_ReefFresh]

Very awesome video I do the same! With the cycling rock in a bucket I always love doing that. It's such a life saver

[@kingtidecorals]

Nothing like a little bucket time! Thanks for stopping in!

[@D__fox_89]

I used the life rock myself, not too shabby and I always support cycling rock asap even before the systems set up/present! 🤙🏻✊🏻👊🏻

[@SharbucklesReef]

Dude I love the small shapes they’re making now! I may have to pickup some for my new tank!

[@kingtidecorals]

Right? I was loving the shapes of the nano rock they had to offer! Feel like it’ll be really fun to use in the scape

[@MrRandallDish]

Keep them coming! Awesome video and great inspiration.

[@kingtidecorals]

Trying my best to do so! You know how it is.. life gets in the way LOL! Hoping to bring some more content here shortly! Appreciate you sticking around!

Ol trusty bucket...perfect .

[@blaineboone6765]

Let's goooo

[@kingtidecorals]

Cooking that rock baby!

[@dolfsalas203]

Can I use the water that was used to cycle the rocks in my tank? Sorry. Newbie here

[@antionehightower6179]

But how long does it take with that type of rock

[@jordanpehrson7030]

Agreed I wanna know roo feel like that’s pretty important lol

[@Nick-co9pf]

Few weeks yo a month if you're just trying to get a bacteria foundation going. Normal cycling time/guidelines apply.

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Why not just cycle the rock inside the tank?

[@mathewjarvis7748]

Could be cause hes rescaping his old tank. Removing the old rocks and replacing it with new rocks.

[@PepeCoinMania]

thats not necessary at all

[@jaynpenny]

I don’t have a existing tank to pull pods or brittle stars what can I use?

[@Nick-co9pf]

Its been three months, are you gonna continue this series or no?

[@htowner1327]

Nice video .I looked at the life rock but heard poor things about and being man made it made me not buy it .
