Hello, I'm getting back into the hobby after 7 or 8 years of not having any fish. Im getting the aquatop Recife eco 40 aquarium, but I want to start the cycle from scratch, taking my time to get it down perfectly.

I have one of those machines at the store that's 2 min from my house I would not mind do 20 trips there help please.
