Sure! I am assuming since you had a tank before that you know a little about how cycling in a tank works. Basically a newly set up tank needs to grow bacteria which converts ammonia (fish waste). The bacteria converts ammonia to nitrIte and then the nitrIte into nitrAte. When your tank consistantly reads 0ppm ammonia and nitrite even with a steady ammonia source, then the tank is considered fully cycled. When fishless cycling, try to keep your ammonia level between to 3-5ppm.
