Ok so everytime I have cycled a tank I used a damsel or 2 yea its mean... whatever. Anyway, Trying not to go that route this time with the 10G. I thought using established LR with some filter media and sand from my main tank would cycle it but its been over a week or more and amm is only at .25 with no nitrite and no nitrate... Last night I threw a frozen mysis shrimp cube in hoping it will help. Was that a good or bad idea? lol.
