Cycling tanks

[Chasnkevin4ever]

Have a quick question if u add a new decor to tank does it cycle again?

nope. its good to boil the decor first to remove bacteria though.
when u say 'decor' is that driftwood or plastic or what? x

Plastic but I am working on get my cichlids rocks and driftwood.

the driftwood should be soaked for a week, with water changed per day. they should get boiling hot water when bucket is refilled. rocks are a basic rinse if they were shop bought, but if from a garden or dirty source need good soaking too.
plastic should be from an aquarium safe source, so no bad chemicals get in the water xx
