some people recommend putting a little pinch of fish food, some recomment a raw cocktail shrimp to aid in the cycling, some people prefer to put a fish or two, but usually the fishless is the best way to go
Viper,
If you buy a bottle of Seachem Stability and add the recommended dose for seven days, you can add fish immediately. If your experience is the same as mine, there will be a tiny trace of ammonia the first day and then zero ammonia and nitrite after that. Instant cycle!
If you want to go the other way, get a bottle of PURE ammonia at a hardware store and use that to dose the tank instead of the shrimp or fish food. Much faster...but you are looking at more like 4 to 6 weeks instead of 2 to complete the cycle and you will have to test the water to see if the cycle is complete.
Good luck!
Greeny.
