Thanks for all the warm welcoming and the compliments ...

Just to check, will it better / faster to cycle the tank with "used" media ???

Is it safe to put in used media for tank with existing Aro ???

And I would like to apologies here first, as I'm newbie into keeping Aro, I may (for sure, actually) to have LOTS of questions coming ...

Welcome to the Aro keeping, it will be faster to cycle the tank with used media and at the same time pour in new BB.

For BB, you may purchase commercial BB from the shops.

But three aros in 422 , in half a year , you need to change tank

Get those off-the-shelf BB. Than pour the directed amount onto your media, if it not possible, than direct into the tank water

I presume that your tank is not cycled yet. You might want to do more frequent WC to control the ammonia and nitrite levels.

By the way , reduce the number of fishes if you can. Your bioload seems too high a tank of that size unless your medias are fully packed!
