Currently working on my 225 Gallon Tank and wondering if I have enough media in my sump for beneficial bacteria to grow.
Currently it's just a planted tank, but will eventually house about 100+ Tetras.
Not including the floss and foam it currently has:
2L of Seachem Matrix Media
2750 Grams of Eheim Ceramic Balls
150 Pieces of Bio Balls
Is that enough for the future or should I purchase more.
Also 2 other questions.
1) Can I let the Bio Balls just float on top of the Sump or better to have them on the floor of the Sump?
2) Eventually when the tank is cycled, what is a good amount of fish to introduce at a time to assure the bacteria is not overwhelmed?
Thank you! Sorry for the long post.
