        Iv been a fan of seachem products especially flourish root tabs, it just seemed too good to be true to instantly add livestock

          Its not a perfect cycle, but it kick starts it faster. We have used it in a tank hard cycling with fish, it can do it if the bioload is low and you dose daily and water change when you absolutely have to. It takes a much shorter time. We use it on all our tanks now, at start up and never have any huge issues usually

            Mollies love saltwater and can survive the cycling.

                I'm worried about flow now, we have a maxi-jet 400 which in circulation mode puts out 500gph flow rate. I wonder if that's a bit too much for a 20 long. Sand gets blown around to a point there are bare spots. Should I down grade to a smaller pump?

                  Reefs are usually recommended 20x their volume per hour, so maybe angling it a bit differently or building a larger lr pile to direct and diffuse the force?

                    I'll play around with the rock a bit and see what that does for me

                      If your sand is blowing, I think you are a bit overpowered.

                          I suppose I could trim the propeller down or use plexiglass to limit/divert flow somehow.

                            I wish these motors were variable speed, then I could find a sweet spot

                              Anyone use a dimmer switch on their pumps?

                                I think I built my answer. I put a dimmer switch in an electrical box and cut up an old extension cord. Wired it up and tested it on a fan. Wasn't sure a dimmer switch would work on a motor load as there are specific dimmer switches for ceiling fans that would have worked. So far it works.Can't wait to get home and test it out.
