一旦珊瑚礁坦克完全运行并腌制，第一阶的业务是启动生物周期。在典型的鱼类水族馆，新鲜或盐中，骑自行车几乎与开发细菌，生物周期有关，但礁石罐中还有更多的“骑自行车”。
除了细菌循环，珊瑚礁水族馆生物周期的相位也与硅藻和鞭毛鞭毛酸盐，诸如简单尘土飞扬的绿色，毛茸茸的和甲壳酸盐的珊瑚藻类等藻类等微生物的连续性有关。But another phase to consider in the cycling of a reef tank would be the meiofauna, the ‘pods’ like copepods, amphipods, mysis shrimp, and whether we like it or not, the ragworms and bristelworms that are important to the long term balance of all reef ecosystems.
尽管有生物启动培养物最佳水族馆细菌可以在几天之内控制氮废物，我们仍然看到礁石认为他们正在“骑自行车”礁石水族箱长达三个月或六个月，但我个人认为这是不正确的。指示新的礁石水族员等待三个月或更长时间才能骑车骑行可能会出现谨慎，但它肯定会阻止潜在的新礁石启动礁石坦克。
It’s also somewhat disingenuous for hundreds of coral vendors to set up instant coral holding tanks back when we used to have coral shows and aquarium conferences, but then turn around and tell newbies they need to wait a fraction of a year to add corals to their tanks. Our method of beginning the biological cycle in an aquarium is not necessarily all that unique, it borrows a little from all the common methods, but altogether it’s not necessarily preached that you technically don’t need to cycle an aquarium for corals, not the way you do for fish.
在我们的最新视频中，我们讨论了如何通过添加一些细菌汁，添加一对鱼，一条指示珊瑚和少数几种细菌汁来开始新的澳大利亚风格礁的周期气孔蜗牛是珊瑚礁生态学的真正胶囊，在礁石世界中尚未得到很好的认可。
