ok, I need some guidance... Starting a sump and wondered if I'm using existing LR from system should I have to cycle. I will be using new sand (not live) for a DSB and the water addition will have the same parameters as tank. Should I have to cycle since the sand is new or is the LR seeded...

So, the more I read the more I wonder if it was a good idea for the DSB in my CPR fuge. The dsb is 4.5", I have cheato, 2 shaving brushes, 2 clove polyps and lots of copepods. These sit under a 24w 10K bulb for 8 hrs a night. My concern is, thread after thread, I keep reading how hard it is...
