Allow the structure to dry completely before placing it in the aquarium. Once it is fully dry, position it in the tank before adding water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Prepare the Marine Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dissolve the appropriate amount of Aquaforest salt in RO\/DI water heated to 25\u00b0C. Stir until fully dissolved and the water becomes clear. Slowly pour the prepared water into the aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about our salts check out our video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"What do you feed your reef with? | Aquaforest Salts\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3qHmwPOuoDo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/aquaforest.eu\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Add the Sand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare the sand according to the instructions by mixing the contents of the two bottles included in the package with 3 liters of marine water. Leave the mixture in the bag with the sand for 24 hours at a temperature of 25-28\u00b0C.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this period, the sand is ready for use. Add it slowly to the aquarium, preferably in 2-3 portions at intervals of a few hours. You can start preparing the sand before making the water so that both are ready at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Install the Filtration Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Place <strong>Life Bio Fil<\/strong> in a high-flow area of the sump to ensure optimal water circulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best results, it is recommended to use an <strong>Aquaforest media reactor<\/strong>, which provides excellent flow and enhances efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Introduce Bacteria<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add <strong>1 drop of Bio S per 100L<\/strong> of water daily for <strong>14 days<\/strong> to support biological filtration. Supplement this with <strong>10 ml of Life Source per 100L weekly<\/strong> to further stabilize the tank and promote biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Monitor Water Parameters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use <strong>NO3 &amp; PO4 test kits<\/strong> to track the progress of the nitrogen cycle. The presence of <strong>NO3<\/strong> indicates that the cycle is functioning properly. Ensure that <strong>NH4 (ammonia) and NO2 (nitrite) are completely eliminated<\/strong> before introducing live organisms into the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Control the Temperature<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To speed up the maturation process, maintain a temperature of <strong>29-30\u00b0C<\/strong> for the first <strong>2-3 weeks<\/strong>. Before introducing live organisms, lower the temperature to <strong>25\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-9c002f12ff1c3fbd1d2d1e7de27987b2\">Also check out the Aquaforest Kickstart Method guide in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OvCJKvBnxI8&amp;t=28s\">video version<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Start your reef tank the right way | Aquaforest Kickstart Method\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OvCJKvBnxI8?start=28&#038;feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/aquaforest.eu\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6ba7214af0e0a65dd462d950ed68783a\" style=\"color:#f1005d\"><strong>Why Use the Aquaforest Kickstart Method?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mixing different brands, adding live rock, or using water from other aquariums can introduce unwanted changes and disrupt the cycle.
