I am pretty unfamiliar with cycling, I normally would just set up a new tank, wait a a few days and stick a couple fish in and it had always worked out for me. But I got a 120 gallon tank and I want to make sure I do it right.
I installed a fluval 306 about 4 days ago and also put in 5 .25-.5 inch feeder fish I got for another tank but just decided to stick them in the 120g. Today I'm going to install the fx6 to the tank on top of the 306. I stuck a couple pieced if food in yesterday. How should I cycle it and how long should I wait? And would those fish help the cycle or are they just to small?
