Getting ready to cycle my tank this weekend and wondering what additives do I need to put in the water?
Just an ammonia source. Many use a raw cocktail shrimp. Just toss it in and wait for the cycle to start. I'd put it in a mesh bag if you have access to one. If you plan on removing it early and not letting it decompose completely, it will fall apart all over the place when you go to pick it up. Do you have live rock in the tank? Is that cycled yet? This may be enough of an ammonia source if not.
