I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the timeframe for cycling a 55 gallon tank? I completely set up my tank about two days ago. I used both API stress coat and API stress Zyme when I filled the tank. I also siphoned about a gallon of tank water in from my established five gallon.
Should I just test weekly and add begin to add fish when I see the nitrite levels start to drop? When I did my five gallon I cycled with my Betta in the tank. I had no idea about the nitrogen cycle. I have guppies and an Asian algae eater that are moving into the 55 gallon. Any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
