Default Cycle Question

LOL Yea that does stink. I once spilled about 5 pounds of
live black worms (similar to tubifex) on the carpet in the
bathroom here at the store.

Yep, and yes it does take food away from the bacteria, but that's a good
thing. The nice thing about protein skimmers, is that it takes the
organics out of the water before the bacteria can break it down, whereas a
mechanical filter traps food, and the bacteria start feeding on it because
it is not actually removed from the water.

But that would take the food for the bacteria out :-) hehehe
No it won't.
Wayne is joking about things said in other threads. That's why there's a
smilie.
