Hey everyone.
Im new to freshwater tanks. I am more of a saltwater enthusiast but i dont have the time or money for this tank to be a saltwater tank right now.
I will be setting up a solana 40 gallon all in one tank next week. Eventually it will be saltwater but to start it is going to be freshwater. I read the getting started fishless cycle article already. Without anything to seed the tank with what timeline am i realistically looking at for a cycle?
also the light housing is for a halide bulb and abviously i dont need that kind of lighting for a fresh water tank (i think?), what are my other options or would this actually work?
Thanks for any help!
