I am setting up a tropical freshwater.
This is my childhood tank and I have been away from it for a few years. I have checked it for leaks and it is good.
Now that I am an adult and a little more patient I think that I would like to try to make the tank hospitable for my fish before dumping them into new water; as I did in my youth. I have done some reading on initial cycling for new tanks and feel pretty confident to approach it in this fashion.
However, I have seen some blog posts and comments that say that just starting out with fish is just as good.
Thoughts?
Some more info:
46 gallon tank.
Penguin 350B filter.
Live plants.
Marineland powerhead.
Thank you all in advance.
