Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi, I've noticed that several people cycle their tanks with media and fish. I am attempting to do this. I just obtained a used filter sponge from a friends cycled tank as well as about two cups of media. I have placed the sponge in my Aqua-Clear 300 along with about 1 cup of the media that I put into a knee high nylon.
Any idea as to how long it take to cylce this way? I have 6 head and taillight tetras in the tank.
I do have test kits for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. I will do plenty of testing. I just wondered what your experiences have been on how long it has taken you to cycle this way.
