I need the best way to fish less cycle. I have removed my old decor water and rocks to my new 40 gallon. I need the easiest way please!
 
1. The first step is to add 100% pure ammonia NO ADDITIVES or SCENT this is very important. Janitorial strength pure ammonia form ACE hardware is a good choice.
2. get your ammonia up to 4 ppm test your water ever 24 hours
3. When the ammonia goes down nitrites will rise be sure to keep your ammonia levels up between 2 and 4 ppm.
4. When nitrites drop nitrates will rise
5.once your ammonia and nitrites are zero and nitrates are through the roof do a 90% water change
6. just to ensure you are completely cycled add 2-4 ppm of ammonia within 24-48 hours ammonia and nitrites should be 0 now you're fully :) cycled

to expedite the process you could try tetra safe start or other instant cycle products and see if they work, but to cycle a tank YOU MUST BE PATIENT
